uncontrollably

/ˌənkənˈtɹoʊɫəbɫi/ adv

In an uncontrollable manner; without being subject to control.

Word Origin Control comes from Latin contra 'against' and rota 'wheel' — originally, a controller was a 'counter-roll,' a duplicate register used to check accounts, like rolling a wheel back against the original. So to control is to check against a standard. Uncontrollably means not able to be checked or restrained. The same roots give us contradict (speak against), rotate (turn like a wheel), and round.
