What dimly means

In a way that is not bright or clear, providing or reflecting little light or visibility.

Where the word comes from

"Dimly" comes from the adjective "dim," which traces back to Old English "dim," meaning dark or obscure. The "-ly" suffix transforms the adjective into an adverb. "Dim" itself likely derives from Proto-Germanic roots related to darkness and faintness, though its ultimate origin remains uncertain. The adverb form became common in Middle English and has remained largely unchanged since.
