Word origin

The word 'unsuitably' is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' to the adjective 'suitable'. The origin of the word 'suitable' can be traced back to the Latin word 'sui' meaning 'of oneself'. Over time, the word evolved to its current form in English, with the addition of the prefix 'un-' creating the opposite meaning.
