Word origin
The word 'unlike' originated from the Middle English word 'unliche', which meant 'not similar to'. Over time, its usage evolved to represent the idea of being different or dissimilar. The prefix 'un-' denotes negation, while 'like' refers to similarity. Today, 'unlike' is commonly used in both prepositional and adjectival contexts to express contrast or differentiation.
