Etymology

The word 'undeterred' is formed from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', and 'deterred', which derives from the verb 'deter'. 'Deter' comes from the Latin 'deterrere', which means 'to frighten away or deter', comprised of 'de-' meaning 'down from' and 'terrere', meaning 'to frighten'. The combination gave rise to the notion of not being frightened away or put off. The term gained popularity in English usage in the late 20th century, as it began to describe individuals displaying resilience and determination in the face of adversity, highlighting the human spirit's capacity to remain steadfast.
