unconditionally

The word 'unconditionally' is built upon the core noun 'condition,' which entered English from Old French condicion, itself from Latin condicio (an agreement, stipulation, or situation). The Latin root is thought to derive from condicere, meaning "to talk together" or "agree." The prefix un-, a prolific Germanic negation marker, was attached to form 'unconditional,' meaning "not subject to any conditions or limitations." Finally, the adverbial suffix -ally (from Latin -aliter) was added to create the modern adverb, describing an action performed in an absolute, unreserved manner. Thus, the word's logic traces a path from the concept of mutual agreement to its explicit negation and subsequent adverbial form.
