Word origin
The word 'unbeaten' is derived from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', combined with the past participle 'beaten' of the verb 'beat'. The verb 'beat' comes from Old English 'beatan', which has its roots in Germanic languages. Historically, 'beat' has evolved in meaning over the centuries, initially relating to striking or hitting, but it also took on connotations of victory in competition. The combination of 'un-' and 'beaten' first appeared in English usage around the 19th century, reinforcing the idea of someone or something that cannot be subjected to defeat. The word has since become commonly used in sports and competitive contexts.
