Etymology: "Obscuredly" is a plain formation: the past participle "obscured" with the adverbial suffix "-ly" attached. "Obscured" itself comes from the Latin "obscurare," meaning to darken or cover over, built from "ob-" (over, against) and "obscurus" (dark, dim). Adding "-ly" turns the participle into a manner adverb, describing an action carried out so that its real sense is hidden.

Synonyms: vaguely, unclearly
