the word 'unhurriedly' is a modern english formation built upon the older core 'hurry.' the prefix 'un-', a prolific negator from old english, combines with the adjective 'hurried' to create the opposite quality of not being rushed. the adverbial suffix '-ly,' also from old english, is then appended to describe the manner of an action. thus, the word's construction follows a clear, logical compounding: the negation of a state of haste, modified to describe how an action is performed.
