Etymology
The word 'unkempt' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'kempt' which comes from Middle English 'kemben' meaning 'to comb'. Therefore, 'unkempt' originally meant 'not combed' or 'not neat'. Over time, the meaning evolved to refer to things or people that are untidy, disheveled, or not properly maintained.
