unconstitutionally

/ˌənˌkɑnstəˈtuʃənəɫi/, /ˌənˌkɑnstəˈtuʃnəɫi/ adv

In a manner or to an extent that is unconstitutional.

Word Origin Constitution comes from Latin 'con-' (together) and 'statuere' (to set up, establish) — literally 'a setting up together,' the foundational framework of a government. So 'unconstitutionally' means acting against that established framework. The root 'statuere' (from 'stare' to stand) gives us 'statue' (something set up), 'institute' (to set up in), 'substitute' (to set under), and 'destitute' (set down, abandoned).
