irregularly

/ˌɪˈɹɛɡjəɫɝɫi/ adv

In an irregular manner; without rule, method, or order.

Word Origin Irregularly comes from irregular, from ir- 'not' + regular. Regular is from Latin regula 'rule, straight stick', from regere 'to rule, guide straight'. So regular means according to rule. The root regere gives us regulate, regulation, ruler, and deregulate. So irregularly means in a way that doesn't follow the rule.
