Etymology
The word 'inhumanly' is derived from the base adjective 'inhuman', which dates back to the Middle English 'inhuman', rooted in Latin 'inhumanus'. The Latin comprises 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'humanus' meaning 'human'. The term has evolved to denote actions or traits that deviate from what is considered humanly acceptable or compassionate. It emphasizes a lack of empathy or expected human behavior, often used in contexts that highlight extreme cruelty or barbarism. As such, 'inhumanly' conveys a strong negative connotation, especially in discussions about treatment, ethics, and morality. Over the years, its usage has expanded to critique not only individuals but also systems or institutions that fail to uphold human dignity.
