inordinately

/ˌɪˈnɔɹdənətɫi/ adv C1

excessively; to an extreme degree

Word Origin From Latin in- 'not' and ordo 'order, row' — inordinate literally means 'not in order,' outside the proper bounds. Inordinately means excessively, beyond what's orderly. The root ordo gives us order, ordinary, coordinate, subordinate, and extraordinary (outside the ordinary order).
