imprudently

/ˌɪmˈpɹudəntɫi/ adv

Without prudence; in an imprudent manner.

Word Origin From Latin im- 'not' and prudent, which comes from pro- 'forward' and videre 'to see' — prudent literally means 'seeing ahead,' foresighted. Imprudently means acting without foresight. The root videre 'to see' gives us vision, video, provide (see ahead and supply), and evident (seen clearly).
