Word origin

The word 'unembellished' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of', and 'embellished' which comes from the French word 'embellir' meaning 'to beautify'. Therefore, 'unembellished' describes something that is not beautified or decorated, emphasizing simplicity and plainness.
