Etymology

The word 'unmentioned' is formed from the prefix 'un-', which signifies negation or absence, and the past participle 'mentioned', derived from the verb 'mention'. The verb 'mention' comes from the Latin 'mentio', meaning 'a bringing to mind', which relates to the act of referring to something casually in speech or writing. The use of 'unmentioned' reflects a condition where certain topics or elements have not been brought into consideration. This term has been in use since at least the late 19th century, signifying that while the act of mentioning is common, the act of leaving out certain information—a concept increasingly relevant in communication—has been recognized and labeled.
