inordinately
의미: To an unusually or disproportionately large degree; beyond what is considered normal, reasonable, or expected.
Inordinately is a more literary and formal alternative to 'excessively,' and it often carries a tone of measured surprise rather than outright criticism. 'Inordinately proud,' 'inordinately fond,' 'inordinately long' — the word suggests that the degree in question exceeds what one might predict. It is common in broadsheet journalism, literary criticism, and formal reports, and pairs well with both positive and negative qualities.
