unresponsively

/ˌənɹiˈspɑnsɪvli/ adv

In an unresponsive manner.

Word Origin Respond comes from Latin re- 'back' and spondere 'to pledge, promise' — so a response is literally a 'pledge back,' an answer. Unresponsively means 'in a manner that gives no answer.' The same spondere root gives us sponsor (one who pledges), responsible (able to answer), and correspond (pledge together, communicate). The breakdown un+re+spond+ive+ly shows the negation of 'answering quality.'
