Word origin

The word 'uncharitable' originated from the combination of 'un-' which means 'not' and 'charitable' which comes from the Latin word 'caritas' meaning 'generosity' or 'charity'. The term has been used in English since the late 14th century to describe a lack of generosity or kindness towards others.
