formlessly

/ˈfɔɹmləsli/ adv

In a formless manner

Word Origin Forma in Latin means 'shape, mold,' so formless is literally 'without shape.' The adverb formlessly describes something done in a shapeless way. The root forma is incredibly productive: it gives us formal (following shape), conform (shape together), transform (shape across), and information (shaping the mind).
