Why “extraregularly” is a great word
In a manner that is outside of or beyond what is regular or normal. From extraregular (from Latin extra- ("outside, beyond") + regularis ("according to rule")) + -ly (adverb-forming suffix). Unlike "irregularly," which implies a deviation or flaw within a system, or "exceptionally," which denotes unusual merit, extraregularly describes a state of existence simply apart from the system's cadence. It is the janitor who arrives at midnight to clean offices that officially close at six; it is the language that evolves in immigrant kitchens untouched by any academy; it is the quiet thought that follows no train of logic—the quiet recognition that most of what truly matters happens in spaces ungoverned by the schedules we pretend to keep.
