Word origin

The word 'untrustworthily' is derived from the combination of 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'trustworthy,' which originated from the Middle English word 'trusti' meaning 'faithful, reliable.' The suffix '-ly' is added to 'trustworthy' to form the adverb 'untrustworthily.' The term has been in use since the 17th century to describe actions or behaviors that are not reliable or honest.
