Etymology
'unsophisticatedly' originates from the word 'unsophisticated,' which is derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'sophisticated,' which comes from the Latin 'sophisticatus,' meaning 'adulterated' or 'tampered with.'
'unsophisticated' evolved from the Latin 'sophisticatus' through Middle English, eventually forming the modern English word 'unsophisticated.'
Initially, 'sophisticatus' meant 'adulterated,' but over time, 'unsophisticated' evolved to mean 'simple' or 'unrefined.'
