DILUTEDLY Meaning and Definition

  1. "Dilutedly" is an adverb derived from the adjective "diluted," meaning to make a substance or solution thinner or weaker by adding another substance to it, usually a liquid. It reflects the state or manner in which something is diluted, emphasizing the extent to which a mixture or solution is weakened or reduced in strength, concentration, or purity.

    When used to describe a liquid or solution, "dilutedly" suggests that it has been watered down or made less potent by the addition of more fluid. For instance, in a culinary context, if a recipe calls for concentrated lemon juice and one substitutes it with regular lemon juice, the resulting taste may be described as dilutedly acidic.

    Additionally, "dilutedly" can also be used more metaphorically to describe aspects other than physical mixtures. For example, it can be applied to ideas, concepts, or arguments that have been weakened or diminished in their impact or effectiveness due to various factors, such as lack of thoroughness, insufficient evidence, or dilution with irrelevant information. In this context, "dilutedly" represents a reduction in the power, clarity, or forcefulness of an idea.

    Overall, "dilutedly" serves as an adverbial form that conveys the state of dilution, whether it refers to a physical mixture, such as in chemistry or cooking, or a metaphorical one, involving ideas or arguments.
