unaccountably
For no reason
Unaccountably means in a way that cannot be explained or understood: She felt unaccountably nervous.
The word signals that something defies obvious reason—an emotion arrives without clear cause, a person behaves contrary to expectation: He was unaccountably absent from the meeting.
It often carries a note of puzzlement or mild wonder at the inexplicable.
