insubordinately

/ˌɪnsəˈbɔɹdəˌneɪtli/ adv C1 ✓

In an insubordinate manner.

Word Origin Insubordinately means in a disobedient manner. Subordinate comes from Latin sub- 'under' and ordo 'order' — placed under order. Insubordinate is not under order. The same root ordo gives us order, ordinary, coordinate, and extraordinary. So insubordinately is acting out of line.
