Word origin

The word 'unfazed' is derived from the prefix 'un-', denoting negation or absence, and the past participle 'fazed' from the verb 'faze', which means to disturb, disconcert, or unsettle. The term 'faze' itself has its roots in the late 19th century, coming from the earlier 'fase' that can be traced back to the Old English 'fǣgan', meaning to frighten or to disconcert. Therefore, 'unfazed' essentially translates to 'not disturbed' or 'not unsettled'. It conveys a sense of resilience and calmness that is significant in various contexts, particularly in challenging situations. The usage of 'unfazed' has grown over the years, especially in modern vernacular, to describe individuals who maintain their poise and focus, especially when faced with unexpected challenges or crises.
