gratuitously

• Наречие, означающее «без веской причины» или «без необходимости», часто подразумевающее, что что-то делается чрезмерно, неоправданно или безосновательно. Также может нести более старое значение «бесплатно» или «безвозмездно», хотя это употребление сейчас редко.

An adverb meaning "without good reason" or "unnecessarily," often implying something is done in an excessive, unwarranted, or uncalled-for manner. It can also carry the older sense of "freely given" or "without charge," though this usage is now rare.
