unadvisable

/ʌnædvˈaɪzəbəl/ adj

Unwilling to take advice.

Word Origin Built from Latin videre 'to see' with the prefix ad- 'toward' — so advise originally meant 'to look toward' something, to give someone a view of the situation. Add un- 'not' and -able 'capable of', and unadvisable is literally 'not able to be looked toward' — not something you can recommend. The same root videre gives us vision, video, and evident (clearly seen).
