Etymology
The word 'uninvestigated' is a combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle of the verb 'investigate.' It originated in the late 19th century as a way to describe something that has not been examined or looked into. The prefix 'un-' is commonly used in English to create negative meanings, while 'investigate' comes from the Latin word 'investigare,' meaning 'to track or trace.' The word has since been used in various contexts, particularly in criminal investigations and research.
