blamelessly

/ˈbɫeɪmɫəsli/ adv

In a blameless manner.

Word Origin Blamelessly comes from blameless, from blame + -less. Blame has a wild journey: from Greek blasphēmein 'to speak evil of', literally 'harm-speech', from blaptein 'to harm' and phēmē 'speech'. That became Late Latin blasphemare, then Old French blasmer, and English blame. So blamelessly means without any harmful speech against you. Related: blasphemy, blameworthy, and the -less suffix also in fearless, endless, hopeless.
