(uneducational)
not educational
Etymology
'uneducationally' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'educational,' which comes from the Latin 'educare,' meaning 'to bring up or train.'
'educare' transformed into the Old French word 'educacion,' and eventually became the modern English word 'education,' from which 'educational' and subsequently 'uneducationally' were derived.
Initially, 'educare' meant 'to bring up or train,' and over time, 'educationally' evolved to mean 'in a manner that promotes learning,' with 'uneducationally' being its negation.
