Etymology

The word 'uncorrelated' originated from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'correlated', which comes from the Latin word 'correlatus', past participle of 'correlare' ('cor-' meaning 'together' and 'relare' meaning 'to carry, bear'). In statistics, the concept of correlation emerged in the early 20th century as a measure of the relationship between variables. The term 'uncorrelated' gained prominence in statistical analysis and later extended to general usage to describe the lack of connection or relationship between things.
