unconventionally

/ˌənkənˈvɛnʃənəɫli/ adv

In an unconventional manner.

Word Origin Convention comes from Latin 'con-' (together) and 'venire' (to come) — literally 'a coming together.' Originally it meant an assembly of people, then the agreements and customs that emerge from such gatherings. So 'unconventionally' means doing things without following the crowd's coming-together. The same 'venire' root gives us 'invent' (to come upon, discover), 'prevent' (to come before, stop), 'event' (a coming out, occurrence), and 'adventure' (a coming toward, a risky undertaking).
