Word origin
The word 'insubordinately' is derived from the combination of 'in-' meaning 'not' and 'subordinate', ultimately from Latin 'subordinatus', past participle of 'subordinare' meaning 'to place in a lower order'. The concept of insubordination has been present throughout history, particularly in military and hierarchical structures where disobedience to authority is considered a serious offense.
