outlandishly

/aʊtˈɫændɪʃli/ adv

In an outlandish manner.

Word Origin 'Outlandish' originally meant 'from an outlying land, foreign', hence strange. So 'outlandishly' means in a bizarre, foreign-seeming way. The root 'land' is Germanic, and 'out-' gives the sense of beyond one's own land. Related words include 'outlander' (foreigner), 'landscape', and 'landmark'. The breakdown out+land+ish+ly shows the foreign quality.
