disjointedly
In scattered fragments
In a disconnected or incoherent manner, lacking logical sequence or smooth transitions.
Someone speaking disjointedly jumps between topics without clear connections: He explained the accident disjointedly, skipping from the crash to the hospital to what he'd eaten for breakfast.
The word suggests fragmentation—thoughts or movements that don't flow naturally together.
