Etymology of UNAPPROACHABLY

The word "unapproachably" is formed by adding the suffix "-ly" to the adjective "unapproachable".

The adjective "unapproachable" itself is derived from the verb "approach", which originally came from the Old French word "aprochier" in the 14th century. The Old French term was a variant of "approcher", meaning "to come nearer to", and can be traced back to the Latin word "appropiare", which has the same meaning.

The addition of the prefix "un-" to "approachable" creates the negation of its meaning, resulting in "unapproachable". Lastly, by adding the suffix "-ly" to "unapproachable", we get "unapproachably", which is an adverb form indicating that something cannot be approached.
