idiosyncratically

/ˌɪdioʊˌsɪnˈkɹætɪkəli/ adv

In an idiosyncratic manner.

Word Origin From Greek idios 'one's own' + syn 'together' + krasis 'mixture' — so an idiosyncrasy is literally a personal mixture, a unique blend of traits. Idiosyncratically means 'in a uniquely personal way.' The root krasis also appears in crater (a mixing bowl), and the breakdown idio+syn+crat+ical+ly shows own-together-mixture-adjective-adverb. Related words like idiolect and synthesis share the same roots.
