Etymology
The word 'uninterestingly-presented' is a compound formed from 'uninterestingly' (adverb form of 'uninteresting') and 'presented' (past participle of 'present'). 'Uninteresting' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'interesting', which is derived from 'interest'. 'Presented' comes from the verb 'present', which originates from Latin 'praesentare', meaning 'to place before'.
'Uninterestingly-presented' is a modern English compound, formed by combining the adverb 'uninterestingly' and the past participle 'presented'. The components trace back to Middle English and Latin roots, but the compound itself is a recent formation.
Initially, the components meant 'not in an interesting way' and 'delivered', and together they now mean 'delivered in a way that is not interesting'.
