Word origin

The word 'insufferably' originated from the combination of the prefix 'in-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the word 'sufferable', which comes from the Latin word 'sufferre' meaning 'to bear, endure'. Over time, 'insufferably' evolved to convey the idea of something being extremely difficult or unpleasant to endure.
