Etymology

The word 'unabashedly' is derived from the adjective 'unabashed', which traces its origins back to the early 17th century. The term 'abash' itself comes from the Middle English word 'abassen', which originated from the Old French 'abâchir', meaning 'to disconcert' or 'to make ashamed'. The prefix 'un-' indicates negation, thus 'unabashed' means not disconcerted or embarrassed. The adverb form 'unabashedly' emerged as the language evolved, highlighting the manner in which one carries out actions or expresses thoughts without any reservation or shame. Over the years, it has evolved in its usage, often used to describe someone who is unapologetically themselves, particularly in the contexts of creativity, expression, and individuality.
