một cách vô lý
/prɪˈpɒstərəsli//prɪˈpɑːstərəsli/The word "preposterously" has a fascinating history. It has its roots in the 15th century, derived from the Latin phrase "prae posterum," which literally means "before the rear." This Latin phrase was used to describe an arrangement of letters or words where the sequence was reversed, such as a Latin phrase written in reverse order. Over time, the phrase evolved into the English word "preposterous," meaning absurd, foolish, or ridiculous. In the 17th century, the suffix "-ly" was added to create the adverb "preposterously," which means in a preposterous or absurd manner. Today, "preposterously" is used to describe something that is utterly unreasonable, ridiculous, or contrary to what is expected. For example, "The restaurant's claim that they served the world's largest pizza preposterously overstated their achievement."
