Definition
In a dissolute manner; with immoral behavior, moral looseness, or lack of restraint.
Etymology
From dissolute (adjective, meaning morally loose or debauched) + -ly (adverb suffix). Dissolute comes from Latin dissolutus (loose, unrestrained), past participle of dissolvere.
Kelly Says
The word 'dissolute' perfectly captures the Roman idea of moral decay—literally 'dissolved' morals. Ancient writers used this word to describe emperors who abandoned responsibility for endless pleasures, and it's still used the same way today.

Gender History
From Latin dissolutus (loose, licentious); historically applied to women's sexual behavior and morality as social judgment. The term carried gendered moral condemnation, particularly toward women characterized as undisciplined or promiscuous.
Inclusive Usage
When describing behavior, specify the conduct rather than relying on the loaded term. If used, apply equally across genders and without moral-sexual judgment.
Inclusive Alternatives
["unrestrainedly","without discipline","carelessly"]
