unashamedly

/ˌənəˈʃeɪmədɫi/ adv B2 ✓

In an unashamed manner.

Word Origin The word 'shame' comes from a Proto-Germanic root meaning 'to cover' — you can almost see someone hiding their face. The 'a-' in 'ashamed' is an old intensifier, so it's literally 'thoroughly shamed.' Then 'unashamedly' stacks un- (not) and -ly to mean 'in a manner without any shame.' The same root gives us 'shamefaced' (with a face of shame) and 'shameless'.
