Word origin
The word 'immodestly' is derived from the word 'immodest', which originated in the late 16th century. The prefix 'im-' signifies 'not' or 'without', while 'modest' comes from the Latin 'modestus', meaning 'keeping within measure'. The adverb form 'immodestly' emerged later to describe actions or behaviors that lack modesty or decency, often associated with inappropriate displays of one's achievements, appearance, or attire.
