unfamiliarly

/ˌənfəˈmɪɫjɝli/ adv

In an unfamiliar manner.

Word Origin Familiar comes from Latin familia 'household,' from famulus 'servant' — originally, familiar meant 'of one's own household,' thus well-known. Unfamiliarly means 'in a not-well-known manner.' The same root gives us family, familial, and familiarity. The un- prefix negates, and -ly makes it an adverb.

adv In an unfamiliar manner.
