mediocrely
In middling fashion
In a mediocre way—neither well nor poorly, just adequately.
The word is rarely used; done mediocrely sounds awkward where done in a mediocre way or simply mediocre work would serve better.
When it does appear, it emphasizes the unremarkable quality of an effort: The team performed mediocrely all season.
