Ways to tell them apart:
- Abstractedly is about a state of distraction or not paying attention to the immediate surroundings, often lost in thought.
- Abstractly refers to thinking about something in a more theoretical or general manner, removing it from any specific context.
- Remember abstractedly with ed, like distracted, as both refer to a less focused state on the present.
- Think of abstractly in terms of abstract art, which isn't about specific representations but more generalized ideas.
- Distinguish them by noting that -ly often turns an adjective like abstract into an adverb describing the type or manner of thought.
