indistinctively

/ˌɪndɪstˈɪŋktɪvli/ adv

In an indistinct manner

Word Origin Built on distinct, from dis- 'apart' and stinguere 'to prick, mark' — distinct means marked apart, clear. Indistinctively means not in a way that marks things apart, blurring together. The same root gives us extinct (pricked out, extinguished) and instinct (inner prick, impulse).
