Word origin
The word 'inordinate' originated from the Latin word 'inordinatus', which means 'disordered' or 'irregular'. It entered the English language in the late 14th century with the meaning 'immoderate' or 'excessive'. Over time, it has been used to describe things that are beyond reasonable limits or unusually large. The word has been commonly used in literature and formal writing to convey the idea of something being excessive or disproportionate.
