unmentionably

/ʌnmˈɛnʃənəbli/ adv

In an unmentionable way; indescribably, unutterably, unspeakably.

Word Origin 'Unmentionably' comes from 'unmentionable,' meaning not able to be mentioned. The root 'mention' is from Latin mentio, related to mens 'mind' — so to mention is to bring to mind. Something unmentionably bad is too terrible to speak of. The same root gives us 'mentionable' and 'unmentioned.'
