Word origin
The word 'inadequate' originated in the mid-17th century from the Latin word 'inadequatus', which means 'not equal to'. Over time, it has evolved to represent the idea of something not being enough or not meeting the required standards. The concept of inadequacy is commonly explored in psychology and social sciences, highlighting the importance of self-worth and confidence.
