immoderation

/ɪmˌɑdɚɹˈeɪʃən/ noun

Lack of moderation.

Word Origin Immoderation is im- 'not' + moderation, from Latin moderari 'to regulate, set bounds.' Moderari comes from modus 'measure,' which gives us mode, model, modest, and accommodate (to fit to a measure). The PIE root *med- meant 'to measure, take appropriate measures,' also giving us medical and meditate. So immoderation is exceeding proper bounds.
