unsuspectingly

/ˌənsəˈspɛktɪŋli/ adv

In an unsuspecting manner.

Word Origin Suspect comes from Latin sub- 'up from under' and specere 'to look' — literally 'looking up at' with suspicion. Unsuspectingly means 'in a manner without looking suspiciously, trustingly.' The same specere root gives us inspect (look into), respect (look back at), and spectacle (something to look at). The breakdown un+suspect+ing+ly shows 'not' + 'suspecting' + 'in a manner.'
