The word 'insipid' originated from the Latin word 'insipidus', which is a combination of 'in-' (not) and 'sapidus' (tasty). It entered the English language in the 17th century. Over time, it has come to describe things that lack flavor or excitement, often used in a negative context to express disappointment or boredom.
