'uncomfortably' originates from the word 'uncomfortable', which is derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'comfortable', which comes from Latin 'confortare', meaning 'to strengthen'.

'uncomfortable' changed from the Old French word 'confortable', which meant 'comforting', and eventually became the modern English word 'uncomfortable'.

Initially, it meant 'not comforting', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'causing discomfort'.
