inconspicuously

/ˌɪŋˈkɑnspɪkwəsli/ adv

In an inconspicuous manner; so as not to attract attention or appear unusual or out of the ordinary.

Word Origin Built from the Latin root 'spicere' 'to look' — conspicuous is 'thoroughly visible', so inconspicuous is 'not easily seen'. Inconspicuously means doing something without attracting notice. The same root gives us 'spectacle', 'inspect', 'respect', and 'suspect'. The prefix in- negates.

adv In an inconspicuous manner; so as not to attract attention or appear unusual or out of the ordinary.
