Etymology
The word 'inaptly' derives from the base word 'inapt', which comes from the Latin word 'inaptus', meaning 'unsuitable' or 'unfit'. The 'in-' prefix means 'not' or 'without', while 'aptus' translates to 'fit' or 'suitable'. The adverbial form, 'inaptly', was formed by adding the 'ly' suffix typical for adverbs in English, thus its usage dates back through its early appearances in Middle English texts. Over time, it has come to describe actions or utterances that are particularly ill-suited to their context, emphasizing a mismatch between the action and the circumstances.
