ineligibly

/ɪnˈɛlɪdʒəbli/ adv

In an ineligible manner.

Word Origin From Latin 'legere' meaning 'to choose.' Eligible is 'able to be chosen' (e- 'out' + legere). Ineligible is 'not able to be chosen.' The same root gives us elect (choose out), select (choose apart), and elite (the chosen ones). The breakdown in+e+lig+ible+ly shows the root 'lig' (from legere). The PIE root *leg- is about collecting, choosing.
