unbearably

/ənˈbɛɹəbɫi/ adv

In an unbearable manner, not bearably, in a way unable to be borne.

Word Origin Bear from Old English beran 'to carry' — unbearably means in a way that cannot be carried or endured. The PIE root *bher- 'to carry' gives us burden, birth (carrying a child), and transfer (carry across). So unbearably is literally 'not carry-ably'.
