unconscientiously

/ʌŋkˌɑnsɪˈɛnʃəsli/ adv

In an unconscientious manner.

Word Origin Unconscientiously traces back to Latin scire 'to know' — the same root that gives us science and conscious. Conscience is literally 'knowledge within oneself,' so doing something unconscientiously means acting without that inner moral compass. The breakdown un+con+sci+ent+ious+ly makes it clear: not-with-knowledge-ing-ly.
