Word origin

The word 'unconsidered' is derived from the prefix 'un-' which indicates negation, and the word 'considered,' which comes from the Latin 'considerare,' meaning 'to look at closely' or 'to think about.' The 'consider' portion of the word carries the connotation of careful thought or attention. The structure of 'unconsidered' reflects the transformation of meaning through the addition of the prefix, conveying a state of not being thought about. The usage of 'unconsidered' in English can be traced back to the early 19th century, where it began to surface in literary and academic contexts.
