unreasonably

/ənˈɹizənəbɫi/ adv

In an unreasonable manner.

Word Origin Reason comes from Latin ratio 'reckoning, calculation' — so being reasonable is being able to calculate, to think logically. Unreasonably means not in a calculating, rational way. The same root gives us rational, rationality, and even ratio (the mathematical relationship). So unreasonably is literally 'not according to reckoning.'
