unjustifiably
Lacking valid reason
Unjustifiably means without adequate justification or good reason.
It modifies actions or judgments that lack proper grounds: The project was unjustifiably delayed, She felt unjustifiably accused.
The word carries implicit criticism—whatever happened shouldn't have, given the circumstances.
