bizarrely

/bəˈzɑɹli/ adv

In a bizarre manner.

Word Origin Bizarrely comes from 'bizarre', which has a surprising origin: it likely comes from Basque 'bizarra' meaning 'beard'. The idea? A bearded man was seen as strange or odd by clean-shaven Spaniards. So bizarrely means in a weird, unexpected manner, and the word still carries that hint of the unusual.
