Etymology
The word 'inexpertly' is derived from the adjective 'inexpert,' which means not having or showing skill or knowledge. The prefix 'in-' indicates negation, while 'expert' comes from the Latin 'expertus,' meaning 'experienced' or 'skilled.' This Latin root is formed from 'ex-' meaning 'out of' and 'periri,' which means 'to try.' The adverbial form '-ly' was added to indicate the manner in which something is done. Overall, 'inexpertly' reflects a lack of experience or proficiency in a given task and has been used in English since the late 19th century.
