Etymology
The word 'incautiously' originates from the Latin word 'incautus', meaning 'not cautious'. It entered the English language in the late 16th century. The prefix 'in-' denotes negation, while 'cautiously' is derived from the Latin 'cautio', meaning 'caution'. Over time, 'incautiously' has been used to describe actions performed without due care or attention to potential risks.
