Word origin

The word 'unconclusive' originated from the Latin word 'concludere' meaning 'to shut up'. The prefix 'un-' was added to indicate negation, thus forming 'unconclusive'. This term has been used in English language since the 17th century to describe situations or arguments that do not lead to a clear or definite conclusion.
