unpunctually

/ʌnpˈʌŋktʃuəli/ adv

In an unpunctual manner.

Word Origin From 'punctual' (on the point of time), with un- 'not' and -ly — literally 'not on the dot'. 'Punctual' comes from Latin 'punctum' (a point, prick), from 'pungere' (to prick). The same root gives us 'point', 'puncture', 'compunction' (a prick of conscience), and 'expunge' (to prick out, erase).
