Etymology

The term 'ineligibly' derives from the root word 'eligible,' which comes from the Latin 'eligibilis,' meaning 'able to be chosen.' The prefix 'in-' indicates negation, transforming 'eligible' into 'ineligible.' The adverbial form '-ly' adds the meaning of 'in a manner of being.' This morphological construction has been used in English since the 19th century, primarily in legal and bureaucratic language. It highlights the nuances of qualifications and eligibility, essential in contexts such as legal proceedings, academic admissions, and various applications for benefits.
