Etymology

The word 'immoderately' is derived from the Middle English word 'immoderatly', which comes from the Old French word 'immoderé' and the Latin word 'immoderatus', meaning 'unmeasured' or 'excessive'. The term has been used in English language since the 15th century, originally to describe actions that were not limited or restrained. Over time, it has come to connote behavior that is inappropriate, excessive, or lacking in moderation.
