Etymology
'unconventionally-performed' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', combined with 'conventionally', derived from 'convention', and 'performed', from the Latin 'performare'.
'Unconventionally' evolved from 'unconventional', which was formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to 'conventional'. 'Performed' comes from the Middle English 'performen'.
Initially, 'unconventional' meant 'not bound by convention', and 'performed' meant 'to carry out'. Together, they evolved to describe actions done in a non-standard way.
