'unartistically' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'artistic,' which comes from the Latin 'artisticus,' meaning 'pertaining to art.'

'artisticus' transformed into the French word 'artistique,' and eventually became the modern English word 'artistic,' with 'un-' added to form 'unartistic' and subsequently 'unartistically.'

Initially, 'artisticus' meant 'pertaining to art,' and 'unartistically' evolved to mean 'in a manner lacking artistic quality.'
