incalculably

/ɪŋkˈælkjuləbli/ adv

In an incalculable manner.

Word Origin Calculate comes from Latin calculus 'small stone' — because Romans used pebbles for counting. Incalculably means beyond counting. Calculus gives us calculator, calculation, and calculus (the math of small stones). The PIE *kau- 'to hew, strike' gave calx 'limestone,' then calculus 'pebble.' So incalculable is literally uncountable by pebbles.
