Etymology: "Insalubriously" is an adverb built in the most ordinary way: the adjective "insalubrious" with the adverbial ending "-ly" attached. The adjective itself is formed from "insalubris," a Latin word meaning unhealthy, made of "in-" (not) and "salubris" (healthy, wholesome). That Latin base connects it to "salus," the root behind "salute" and "salvation," so the word shares its ancestry with terms that originally carried the sense of soundness and well-being. The result is a word that means "in unhealthy ways," describing how something is done or how a place or condition is arranged. Because it is simply the adjective plus a suffix, its meaning follows directly from the parts: a thing done insalubriously is done in a manner that is harmful to health.
