Etymology

The word 'substandardly' is derived from the combination of 'substandard' and the adverbial suffix '-ly'. The term 'substandard' originated in the early 20th century, with 'sub-' meaning 'below' and 'standard' meaning 'level of quality or attainment'. The addition of the suffix '-ly' transforms the adjective 'substandard' into the adverb 'substandardly', indicating an action performed in a below standard manner.
