Surface Forms

Morphology

irregardlessly + of

The core meaning (‘without regard’ ≈ ‘regardless of’) can be partly inferred from the visible morphemes (regard + -less + -ly + of), so a learner familiar with these pieces may guess the intended meaning. However, the form is nonstandard (like irregardless) and the conflicting prefix/suffix morphology (ir- plus -less) creates a confusing double‑negative/unnatural formation, so the sense is not fully predictable for a B1 learner without exposure.

Etymology

Irregardlessly of comes from people mixing ir-, regard and -lessly, as if they put two 'no' pieces together to make the word sound stronger. So, it is used to mean 'without regard' or 'regardless of', but it is not standard.
