Etymology

The word 'deem' originated from the Old English word 'dēman', meaning 'to judge'. The word 'unfit' is a combination of 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'fit', which has roots in Old English and Proto-Germanic. Together, 'deem unfit' reflects the idea of judging something as not suitable or appropriate.
