Etymology
'unsuitably-announced' originates from the combination of 'unsuitable' and 'announce', where 'un-' is a prefix meaning 'not', 'suitable' comes from Latin 'suitabilis', and 'announce' comes from Latin 'annuntiare'.
'unsuitably-announced' evolved from the combination of 'unsuitable' and 'announce', which were used separately in Middle English and eventually combined in modern English.
Initially, 'announce' meant 'to make known', and 'unsuitable' meant 'not appropriate'. The combination emphasizes the inappropriate manner of making something known.
