unclearly

/ənˈkɫɪɹli/ adv B2 ✓

In an unclear manner.

Word Origin Clear comes from Latin clarus 'bright, clear, famous' — the same root that gives us clarify (make clear), clarity, and even claret (a clear, bright wine). Unclearly just adds un- 'not' and -ly to make it an adverb: 'in a not clear manner.'
