baselessly
Lacking any support
Without foundation or supporting evidence.
A baseless claim lacks facts to back it up; to make such a claim baselessly is to assert something with nothing behind it: She baselessly accused him of stealing.
The word often appears in legal and journalistic contexts where the absence of evidence matters.
