Word origin

The word 'dissatisfiedly' is a combination of the word 'dissatisfied' and the adverbial suffix '-ly'. The term 'dissatisfied' originated in the late 16th century, derived from the prefix 'dis-' meaning 'not' and the word 'satisfied'. The addition of the suffix '-ly' forms the adverb 'dissatisfiedly', which has been in use since the 17th century to describe the manner in which dissatisfaction is expressed.
