incorrigibly

/ɪŋkˈɔɹɪdʒəbli/ adv

In an incorrigible manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'regere' meaning 'to rule, guide, straighten.' Corrigible is 'able to be corrected' (cor- 'together' + regere). Incorrigible is 'not able to be straightened out.' The same root gives us correct (straighten together), direct (guide straight), and regulate (make regular). The breakdown in+corrig+ible+ly shows the root 'rig' (from regere). The PIE root *reg- means 'to move in a straight line,' and you can see it in words like regal, rule, and right.
