Word origin

The word 'unfixed' originated from the combination of prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'fixed' meaning 'securely placed or established'. The term has been in use since the late 16th century to describe something that is not securely fastened or settled. Over time, its usage expanded to include situations that are not yet determined or decided. 'Unfixed' continues to be used in both literal and metaphorical contexts in modern English.
