Etymology

The word 'unguaranteed' is a combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning not and 'guaranteed', which comes from the word 'guarantee' meaning an assurance or promise. The concept of guaranteeing something has been around for centuries, with the idea of providing security or assurance. 'Unguaranteed' is commonly used in financial contexts to describe situations where there is no assurance or guarantee of a specific outcome.
