unreasoningly

/ənˈɹiznɪŋli/ adv

Without reasoning; blindly, thoughtlessly.

Word Origin Reason traces back to Latin 'reri' (to reckon, think) and 'ratio' (calculation) — so reasoning is about fitting thoughts together like numbers. Unreasoningly means acting without that mental fitting. The same root gives us rational, ration, and even ratify (to make valid by reckoning), all from PIE '*h2er-' (to fit together).
