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.
