distinctively

/dɪˈstɪŋktɪvɫi/ adv

In a distinctive manner; in a way that is notable for its difference.

Word Origin Distinct comes from Latin distinctus, from dis- 'apart' + stinguere 'to prick, mark' — so it's literally 'marked apart,' separated by a prick or point. The root stinguere also gives us instinct (pricked in, incited) and extinct (pricked out, extinguished). Distinctively means 'in a way that marks something apart from others.'
