impatiently
UK: ɪmˈpeɪʃntli | US: ɪmˈpeɪʃntli
adv. in a way that shows irritation or restlessness due to delay or opposition
adv. with eagerness or urgency
The word "impatiently" derives from Latin impatientem (not enduring), formed by combining the negative prefix im- (from in-, meaning "not") with patientem (the present participle of pati, meaning "to suffer or endure"). The suffix -ly was added in Middle English to form the adverb. The core idea revolves around the inability to endure delay or discomfort calmly, reflecting a logical progression from "not enduring" to "acting with irritation or eagerness."
