foggily

In unclear fashion

Foggily describes doing something in a confused, unclear, or mentally hazy way: She foggily remembered agreeing to something the night before.

The word suggests thinking through a mental fog—groggy, unfocused, or vague.

Less commonly, it can describe physical obscurity: The shoreline emerged foggily through the mist.
