thinly
Sliced very fine
Thinly means in a thin manner—with little thickness or density.
Bread sliced thinly, sauce spread thinly, a thinly populated region.
When something is thinly disguised or thinly veiled, the covering is so slight it barely conceals what's underneath: a thinly veiled threat, thinly disguised contempt.
A thinly supported argument lacks sufficient evidence.
