Etymology 1
From Middle English ungodli [and other forms], from un- (prefix meaning ‘not’), + godli (“belonging to God; resembling God, godlike”). Godli is derived from Old English godl?? (“divine, godlike; godly”), from god (“god”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *??ew- (“to libate, pour”), in the sense of a liquid offering poured out for a deity) + -l?? (“suffix forming adjectives meaning ‘characteristic of, pertaining to’”). The English word may be analysed as un- +? godly, and is cognate with Middle Dutch ongodelijc (modern Dutch ongoddelijk), Middle High German ungötlich (modern German ungöttlich), Old Norse óguðligr (“ungodly”) (Danish ugudelig, Icelandic óguðlegur), Swedish ogudlig.

Etymology 2
From Middle English ungodli (“cruelly, maliciously, wickedly; unfairly, unlawfully, wrongly; discourteously, rudely”) [and other forms], from un- (prefix meaning ‘not’), + godli (“excellently; pleasingly, splendidly; courteously, graciously; gladly, willingly; righteously; properly, rightly; at all, possibly; much”). Godli is probably derived from Old English g?dl??e (“goodly”), from g?d (“good”) (ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *g?ed?- (“to join, unite; to suit”)) + -l??e (suffix forming adverbs). The English word is cognate with Middle Dutch ongodelike, ongodlike (modern Dutch ongoddelijk), Middle High German ungöttlich, Swedish ogudelike, ogudlike (both obsolete), ogudligt.
