Absently/Absentmindedly

Is there any difference between the two?

He watched her absently/absentmindedly.

  

Top answer

The only difference between the two is that absently sometimes means vauge. But they both mean the same thing. In the sentence, I would use absentmindedly, but you could also use absently.
