indecipherably

/ˌɪndᵻsˈaɪfɚɹəbli/ adv

In an indecipherable fashion.

Word Origin Indecipherably means unable to be deciphered. Cipher comes from Arabic sifr 'zero, empty' — originally a symbol for nothing, then any secret code. Decipher is to undo the code. The same Arabic root gave us zero. So indecipherably is like a code that remains empty of meaning.
