Etymology

The word 'unexpired' is formed by the prefix 'un-' combined with the past participle 'expired.' The prefix 'un-' is derived from Old English, used to negate the meaning of the root word, indicating the opposite condition. 'Expired' originates from the Latin word 'exspirare,' which means 'to breathe out or out of breath,' a term historically linked to the notion of something coming to an end or dying. 'Expired' evolved into Middle English as 'expire,' with a connotation of time running out. Thus, the conjunction of these two elements creates 'unexpired' to describe a state that remains active or valid, actively used in modern contexts involving time-sensitive items.
