𐌿𐌽𐍅𐌴𐌽𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍉

Gothic

Etymology

From 𐌿𐌽- (un-) +‎ 𐍅𐌴𐌽𐍃 (wēns, “hope, expectation”) +‎ -𐍉 (-ō). This etymology is incomplete. You can help Wiktionary by elaborating on the origins of this term. there appears to be a suffix -iggs acting adverbially as an intermediate step (*unweniggs + -o, where *unweniggs would mean unexpected), but that is a noun suffix (see the entry at *-𐌹𐌲𐌲𐍃), not an adjective suffix. What gives?
