And why is the pronunciation of “inger” utterly different in “ginger” vs “finger” vs “ringer?”

  Ginger is a strong flavor. Why does “gingery” mean spicy, peppery, bold, but “gingerly” means “delicate,” “careful” etc.? Are they actually unrelated? And why am I asking here instead of looking it up?
