unwisely

/ənˈwaɪzɫi/ adv A1

in a foolish way

Word Origin Built from un- 'not,' wise, and -ly — doing something in a not-wise manner. The root wise comes from Old English wīs, related to wit and vision (originally 'to see,' so wisdom is seeing clearly). The un- prefix is the same one that gives us unable, unfair, and undo.
