Furthermore, unmemorably can be used to describe a person or a character who lacks any remarkable or distinctive qualities, traits, or achievements that could make them stand out or be easily remembered.

The word "unmemorably" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "lack of", the root word "memorable", and the suffix "-ly", which typically forms adverbs.
The term "memorable" originated from the Latin word "memorabilis", derived from "memorare", meaning "to remember". In English, "memorable" refers to something that is worthy of being remembered or easily recalled. By adding the prefix "un-" to "memorable", it negates the meaning and creates "unmemorable", indicating something that is not easily memorable or forgettable.
The addition of the suffix "-ly" transforms "unmemorable" into "unmemorably", turning it into an adverb form.
