Etymology of UNFAMILIARLY

The word "unfamiliarly" is derived from the root word "familiar".

The word "familiar" originally comes from the Latin word "familiaris", which meant "of a household servant" or "domestic". It was derived from the Latin word "famulus", meaning "servant" or "household slave". In ancient Rome, a familiaris was a trusted servant or attendant who often lived in the same household as their master.

Over time, the meaning of "familiar" expanded to refer to things or people that were well-known, intimate, or close to someone. By the 14th century, it was used to describe someone with whom one had a friendly or informal relationship. During this period, the word "familiarly" was formed by adding the suffix "-ly" to the root word "familiar", indicating that something is happening or being done in a familiar manner.
