undemocratically

/ˌəndɛməˈkɹætɪkəli/ adv

In an undemocratic manner; not democratically.

Word Origin From Greek demos 'people' and kratos 'rule' — literally 'rule by the people.' Democracy is the idea that power comes from the populace. Undemocratically means acting against that principle. The same roots give us epidemic (upon the people), pandemic (all people), and autocrat (self-rule).
