unoriginally

/ʌnɚɹˈɪdʒɪnəli/ adv

In an unoriginal way.

Word Origin From un- + originally, which comes from Latin 'originem' (rise, beginning, source) from 'oriri' (to rise, get up, be born) — so unoriginally means 'not in an original way.' Origin gives us original, originate, and aboriginal (from the beginning). The root oriri also gives orient (where the sun rises), so origin is about rising up, starting fresh.

adv In an unoriginal way.
