Etymology

The word 'undisguised' is derived from the prefix 'un-', which means 'not', combined with the verb 'disguise'. The term 'disguise' comes from the late 14th century, meaning to 'take away the appearance of' or 'to conceal'. The prefix 'un-' has been used in English since Old English to negate or reverse the meaning of adjectives and verbs. 'Undisguised' has been used in English literature since the 17th century, primarily to describe emotions and expressions that are clear and evident without any form of masking or alteration. Over time, it has become a useful descriptor in various contexts, often emphasizing the rawness or authenticity of feelings.
