Conversation

Did you notice how she talked about the movie incuriously?

Yeah, it was like she didn't even care about the plot.

Root Explanation

Incuriously → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "curious" (from Latin "curiosus", meaning eager to know or inquisitive) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner of). The word "incuriously" means in a manner that is not eager to know or lacking curiosity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') being combined with 'eager to know' ('curious') — that's why incuriously means lacking curiosity.
