Etymology

The word 'unbelief' originated from Middle English 'unbeleve', which came from Old English 'ungeleรกfa'. The prefix 'un-' signifies negation, while 'belief' traces back to the Latin word 'credere', meaning 'to trust'. Over time, 'unbelief' has evolved to encompass both religious and general contexts where doubt or lack of faith is present.

See also: disbelief, misbelief.
