"Unworldly" is a combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" and the word "worldly." "Worldly" comes from the Old English "worldlic," which is derived from "world." The word "world" itself has roots in the Proto-Germanic "weralþ," meaning "age, time," or "period." Essentially, "unworldly" describes something that is not characteristic of or typical of this world, often implying a connection to something spiritual, supernatural, or otherworldly.
