Etymology
The word 'unconscious' originated in the 17th century, from the Latin word 'unconscious', meaning 'not being aware'. It was first used in the context of mental states to describe a lack of awareness or consciousness. Over time, the word has evolved to also refer to actions or decisions made without conscious thought. The concept of the unconscious mind has been explored in psychology, philosophy, and literature, leading to a deeper understanding of human behavior and emotions.
