Word origin
The word impolitely is derived from the word impolite, which dates back to the 18th century. The prefix 'im-' is used to indicate 'not', while 'polite' comes from the Latin 'politus' meaning 'polished' or 'refined'. Therefore, impolitely describes actions or behaviors that are not refined or courteous. Over time, the word has become commonly used to describe rude or disrespectful conduct.
