unimpressively

/ˌənɪmˈpɹɛsɪvli/ adv

In an unimpressive manner.

Word Origin Built from Latin 'premere' (to press) with layers of prefixes and suffixes. 'Impress' is to press into, 'impressive' is that which presses into the mind, 'unimpressive' is not doing that, and 'unimpressively' is the adverb. The root 'press' gives us compress, express, depress, suppress — all about pressing. So unimpressively means in a manner that fails to make an impression.
