Etymology

The word 'unalloyed' has its roots in the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'alloy', which comes from the Middle English 'aloi', itself derived from the Old French 'aleier', meaning 'to mix'. The use of 'unalloyed' dates back to the early 19th century, where it was primarily used in metallurgical contexts to denote metals that were not mixed with other elements. Over time, its usage expanded to include contexts related to emotions and authenticity, emphasizing clarity and purity. In modern English, it conveys a sense of straightforwardness and unadulterated quality.
