illogically

/ˌɪˈɫɑdʒɪkəɫli/ adv

In an illogical manner, without following methods of sane and correct reasoning, in a manner lacking thought or logic.

Word Origin The il- prefix (a form of Latin in- 'not') slapped onto Greek logos 'reason' — so illogically means 'in a way without reason.' Logos is one of the most fertile roots in English, giving us everything from biology (study of life) to dialogue (speech across). The breakdown il+logic+al+ly shows the layers: not + reason + related to + in a manner.
