Word origin

The word 'unilluminated' originated from the Latin word 'illuminare', meaning 'to light up'. The prefix 'un-' was added to give the opposite meaning of 'not lighted up' or 'in darkness'. Over time, the term evolved to describe both physical darkness and metaphorical lack of knowledge or understanding.
