Etymology: From unmixed + -ly.

  1. In a way that is not mixed or adulterated; wholly, entirely.

    But there are, nevertheless, plenty of passages, both in Tristram Shandy and the Sentimental Journey, where the intention is wholly and unmixedly pathetic--where the smile is not for a moment meant to compete with the tear--which are, nevertheless, it must be owned, complete failures, and failures traceable with much certainty, or so it seems to me, to the artistic error above-mentioned.

    Nor was ever any great writer's influence upon his fellows more utterly and unmixedly an influence for good.
