Word origin

The word 'unbelievably' is derived from the word 'unbelievable', which originated in the late 15th century. The prefix 'un-' means 'not' or 'opposite of', while 'believable' comes from the verb 'believe'. Therefore, 'unbelievably' means 'in a manner that is not believable'. Over time, the adverb 'unbelievably' has become widely used in English language to emphasize the degree of disbelief or astonishment.
