Etymology
The word 'unaffiliated' originated in the mid-19th century, combining the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' with the word 'affiliated', which comes from the Latin word 'affiliare' meaning 'to adopt as a son' or 'to associate with'. Over time, 'unaffiliated' has come to be commonly used in various contexts to describe things or individuals that are not connected or associated with a particular group or organization.
