causelessly

/ˈkɑzləsli/ adv

Without cause; in a causeless manner.

Word Origin Causelessly is built from 'cause' plus -less (without) and -ly (adverb). 'Cause' comes from Latin 'causa', meaning reason or motive. So causelessly means 'without a cause'. The same root gives us because (by cause), causal, and uncaused. The word 'causa' itself might be related to 'causari' 'to plead', but its origin is uncertain.
