somewhat
To some degree
Somewhat means to some degree or extent—more than a little but less than fully: I was somewhat surprised by the news.
It softens assertions, making them less absolute: The results were somewhat disappointing.
Somewhat can also function as a noun meaning an unspecified amount: That's somewhat of a problem.
