Here's the breakdown:
* Impatient: This word means "not patient" or "lacking patience."
* Impatiently: This is the adverb form of "impatient," meaning "in a way that lacks patience."
* Patient: This is the root word, meaning "able to wait calmly without complaining."
The prefix "im-" means "not," and the suffix "-ly" turns the adjective "impatient" into an adverb.
