Etymology

The word 'unlabeled' originated from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'labeled' which comes from the Middle English word 'label', ultimately deriving from the Old French word 'labell' meaning 'ribbon, fringe'. The term 'unlabeled' started being used in the early 20th century in the context of labeling products and has since evolved to be commonly used in various fields such as data analysis and machine learning.
