Word Origin & Etymology
Formed in English from the adjective 'dispassionate' plus the adverbial suffix '-ly'. 'Dispassionate' arose in the late 16th century from the prefix 'dis-' (expressing negation) and 'passionate', ultimately tracing back to Medieval Latin 'passionatus' and Late Latin 'passio' (suffering or strong emotion).
