unconfidently

/ʌŋkˈɑnfɪdəntli/ adv

In an unconfident manner; without confidence.

Word Origin Confident is from Latin 'con-' (with) + 'fidere' (to trust) — fully trusting. Unconfidently means without that trust. 'Fidere' is from PIE '*bheidh-' (to trust), which also gives us faith, fidelity, fiduciary, and perfidy. So unconfidently is acting without faith in oneself.
