unpersuasively

/ʌnpɚswˈeɪsɪvli/ adv

In an unpersuasive way.

Word Origin Unpersuasively comes from persuasive with un-. Persuasive comes from persuade, from Latin persuadere 'to urge thoroughly,' from per- 'thoroughly' and suadere 'to urge.' The root suadere is from PIE *swād- 'sweet, pleasant,' so persuasion originally meant making something sweet-sounding. The same root gives us dissuade (urge away) and assuage (to sweeten, soothe). Unpersuasively means in a manner that fails to sweet-talk.
