Word origin

The word 'unconventionally' is derived from the word 'unconventional', which originated in the mid 19th century. The prefix 'un-' means 'not', and 'conventional' refers to something that is based on or in accordance with what is generally done or believed. Therefore, 'unconventionally' describes doing something in a way that is not traditional or usual. The concept of being unconventional has been celebrated in various fields such as art, fashion, and thinking, where breaking away from norms is seen as a form of creativity and innovation.
