Etymology
The word 'unfair' originates from the Old French word 'enfer', meaning 'not fair', which is comprised of the prefix 'un-' indicating negation and the root 'fair' which has its ancestry in the Latin word 'fidelis', meaning 'faithful'. The adjective 'unfair' became popular in English during the 19th century as discussions around justice and equality became more prominent. The comparative form 'unfairer' follows the typical pattern of English adjectives, where 'more' and '-er' are used to indicate comparative differences. As social justice movements grew, the usage of 'unfair' and its comparative 'unfairer' highlighted the discrepancies in treatment across various societies.
