Why “insouciantly” is a great word
In a manner showing a casual lack of concern or indifference. From French insouciant, from in- ("not") + souciant (present participle of soucier, "to worry"), from Latin sollicitāre ("to agitate"). First recorded in English use in the 1880s. Unlike "carelessly" (which implies negligent oversight) or "deliberately" (which suggests conscious intention), insouciantly describes a buoyant, frictionless unconcern. It is the way one tosses a coat over a chair, whistles a tune while missing a train, or spins a coin across a table—a graceful, almost musical rejection of gravity, where the weight of consequence simply fails to register.
adv
