uncommunicatively

/ʌŋkəmjˈunɪkətˌɪvli/ adv

In an uncommunicative manner.

Word Origin Uncommunicatively is the adverb form of uncommunicative, from Latin 'communis' meaning shared or common. The root idea is sharing—communication is making common. Uncommunicatively means in a manner that doesn't share. The same root gives us community (a shared group), communism (shared ownership), and excommunicate (cut off from the shared group).
