Word origin

The word 'uncounted' is derived from the prefix 'un-', indicating negation, and the word 'counted', which comes from the Old French 'conter' meaning 'to tell' or 'to count'. The root of 'count' can be traced back to the Latin 'computare', which means 'to compute' or 'to reckon'. The combination of these elements gives 'uncounted' its meaning of 'not having been included in a count' or 'not being accounted for'. It has been used in English since at least the late 19th century, primarily in contexts relating to elections, statistics, and reports where certain figures or items have been disregarded.
