inordinately

The word 'inordinately' traces its lineage to the Latin root ordo, meaning "a row, series, or arrangement," which gave rise to ordinare, "to arrange." The Latin adjective inordinatus was formed by adding the negative prefix in- to the past participle of ordinare, thus meaning "not arranged, disordered, or immoderate." This sense of deviation from proper order or measure evolved in English from the 14th century, with 'inordinate' initially describing things outside normal bounds. The adverbial form 'inordinately' emerged to describe actions performed in a manner that exceeds the limits of what is orderly, proper, or moderate, capturing the concept of excess through the logic of being "out of order."
