undiscernibly

/ʌndɪsˈɜnᵻbli/ adv

In an undiscernible way.

Word Origin Undiscernibly is built on the Latin root 'cernere' 'to sift, distinguish' — the same root that gives us discern, concern, and secret (literally 'sifted apart'). The breakdown un+dis+cern+ible+ly shows layers of negation: not able to be distinguished. 'Cernere' is about separating things, so to discern is to separate one thing from another mentally. The negative form undiscernibly means something is so subtle you can't separate it out.
