contingently

/kənˈtɪndʒəntli/ adv

In a contingent manner; without foresight

Word Origin Contingent comes from Latin contingere, from con- 'together' + tangere 'to touch' — so it's literally 'touching together,' meaning something that happens by contact or chance. The idea is that events touch each other, one depending on another. The same root gives us contact, tangible, and integer (untouched, whole).
