abortively

/əˈbɔɹ.tɪv.li/ adv

In an abortive or untimely manner; immaturely; fruitlessly.

Word Origin Abortively comes from 'abortive', which is from Latin 'abortivus' — 'ab-' (away) and 'oriri' (to rise, be born) — literally 'miscarrying'. So abortively means in a way that fails to come to fruition. The root 'oriri' gives us 'origin' and 'orient' (where the sun rises). Abortively suggests something that started to rise but was cut short.
