Etymology 1

From Middle English unmanerli (“of a person: disorderly, unruly; of conduct: inappropriate, improper”), from un- (prefix meaning ‘not’) + manerli, manerly (“well-mannered; modest; customary; moral”). Manerli is derived from maner (“kind, sort; form, nature; circumstances; method, manner; outward behaviour, manners; morals; custom, usage; cause, reason”) (from Anglo-Norman, Old French manere (“fashion, manner, way”), from Latin manu?rius (“of or pertaining to the hand”), from manus (“hand”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)meh?- (“to beckon”)) + -li (suffix forming adjectives). The English word is analysable as un- +? mannerly, and is cognate with Danish umanerlig, German unmanierlich, Middle Dutch onmanierlijc (modern Dutch onmanierlijk), Swedish omanerlig, West Frisian ûnmanearlik.

The English word is analysable as un- +? mannerly, and is cognate with Middle Dutch onmanierlike (modern Dutch onmanierlijk).
