(unregulated)
without regulation or control
Etymology
'unregulatedly' is formed from the adjective 'unregulated' with the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Unregulated' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', and 'regulated', which is from Latin 'regula' meaning 'rule'.
'unregulated' developed in English by combining 'un-' and 'regulated', and the adverb 'unregulatedly' was formed by adding '-ly'.
Initially, it meant 'in a manner that is not regulated', and this meaning has remained unchanged.
