abnormally

/æbˈnɔɹməɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In an abnormal manner; in a way that deviates from a standard, norm, or average.

Word Origin Abnormally comes from 'abnormal', which is 'ab-' (away from) and 'norma' (a carpenter's square, hence rule). So abnormal is literally 'away from the rule'. 'Norma' gives us 'normal', 'norm', and even 'enormous' (out of the norm). Abnormally means in a way that deviates from the standard.
