Diffusedly
Diffusedly describes the manner in which something spreads out, disperses, or scatters across a space or throughout a medium. It implies a lack of concentration, focus, or clear boundaries. The action or state is characterized by a gradual and often uneven distribution, rather than a concentrated or localized presence. Think of light spreading across a room after sunrise or ideas that vaguely become popular over time. diffusedly speaks to a process of weakening or lessening in intensity as something spreads. It's the opposite of something being sharply defined, concentrated, or direct. The process may not be intentional, but it results in spreading, watering down, or attenuation.
