Usage Examples

Etymology

**Etymology** *Vaguement* is built from the French adjective *vague* “uncertain, wavering” + the adverbial suffix **‑ment** (from Latin *‑mentum*). The word *vague* itself descends from Latin *vagus* “wandering, errant”, which originally described a wavering motion (hence a wave). The figurative sense “unsettled, vague” emerged in Middle French, and the adverbial form *vaguement* appeared in the 17th century.
