Word origin
The word 'unappreciative' is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to the word 'appreciative'. The base word 'appreciative' comes from the verb 'appreciate', which originated in the late 16th century from the Latin 'appretiatus', past participle of 'appretiare', meaning 'to set a price on'. Over time, 'appreciate' evolved to mean 'to recognize the full worth of something'. The addition of the prefix 'un-' changes the meaning to indicate a lack of recognition or gratitude.
