Etymology
'untrustworthily-given' originates from the combination of 'untrustworthy' and 'given', where 'untrustworthy' means 'not able to be relied on as honest or truthful' and 'given' means 'provided or bestowed'.
'untrustworthy' changed from the Old English word 'untrēowþ' meaning 'faithlessness', and 'given' from the Old English 'giefan', meaning 'to bestow'.
Initially, 'untrustworthy' meant 'faithless', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'not reliable'.
