Etymology
The word 'undecorated' originates from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'decorated,' which comes from the Latin word 'decoratus,' past participle of 'decorare,' meaning 'to decorate.' The concept of simplicity and minimalism has led to the popularity of undecorated spaces in interior design and everyday life.
