inexcusably

/ˌɪnɪkˈskjuzəbɫi/ adv C1 ✓

In an inexcusable manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'causa' meaning 'cause, reason.' Excuse is 'to make a cause out of' (ex- 'out' + causa) — to offer a reason for a fault. Inexcusable is 'not able to be excused.' The same root gives us because (by cause) and accuse (call to account). The breakdown in+excuse+able+ly shows the root 'excuse' from causa. The PIE root is uncertain, but causa is about reason.
