immoderately

/ɪmˈɑdɚɹətli/ adv

In an immoderate manner.

Word Origin Immoderate comes from in- 'not' and moderatus 'regulated, kept within measure' — literally 'not measured.' Immoderately means without moderation. Modus 'measure' gives us moderate, modest, and accommodate (to fit to a measure). The PIE *med- 'to measure, take appropriate measures' is behind it. So immoderate behavior is beyond the proper measure.
