(unrelated)
not connected
Etymology
'unrelatedly' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'related,' which comes from Latin 'relatus,' the past participle of 'referre,' meaning 'to bring back.'
'unrelated' evolved from the Middle English 'relaten,' which was derived from the Latin 'relatus.' The prefix 'un-' was added to form 'unrelated,' and the adverbial suffix '-ly' was added to form 'unrelatedly.'
Initially, 'related' meant 'brought back or referred to,' but over time, 'unrelatedly' evolved to mean 'in a manner not connected or associated.'
