unjustly

/ənˈdʒəstɫi/ adv B2

unfairly

Word Origin From Latin 'jus' (law, right) — 'just' means according to law, and 'unjustly' is the opposite. The root gives us 'justice,' 'jury' (a group sworn to give a just verdict), and 'injure' (to do wrong to someone). The PIE root *yew- also gives 'judge' (via Latin 'judex').
