Etymology

The word 'undimmed' is derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle 'dimmed' from the verb 'dim', which has its origins in the Old English term 'dymian', meaning 'to make dark or obscure'. The combination suggests a condition where something does not experience a loss of brightness or clarity. The use of 'undimmed' can be traced back to the 17th century, where it began to be used in literary contexts to describe both literal and metaphorical brightness. Over the years, it has been used not only to describe light but also qualities such as vision, hope, and emotions that remain strong and clear.
