disjointedly

/dɪsˈdʒɔɪntɪdli/ adv

In a disjointed manner.

Word Origin From Latin iungere 'to join' — a joint is where things are joined. Disjoint means to separate at the joints, to unyoke. Disjointedly means in a disconnected, uncoordinated way. The root iungere also gives us junction (a joining), conjugate (yoked together), and conjugal (marriage, a yoking). The breakdown dis+joint+ed+ly shows the unyoking. So when you move disjointedly, your parts aren't working together.
