incommensurably

/ɪŋkəmˈɛnʒɚɹəbli/ adv

In an incommensurable manner; immeasurably.

Word Origin Built from Latin in- 'not', com- 'together', and metiri 'to measure' — literally 'not able to be measured together'. The idea is that two things are so different in scale or kind that no common measure exists. The same root metiri gives us measure, dimension, and immense (literally 'unmeasured'). The breakdown in+com+mensur+able+ly makes it clear: not-together-measure-able-ly.
