immorally

In wicked fashion

Immorally means in a way that violates moral standards or ethical principles.

The word carries judgment—acting immorally isn't just different from social norms but wrong by some ethical measure: He behaved immorally by lying to protect himself.

What counts as immoral varies by culture, religion, and individual conscience.
