Etymology

The word 'unmitigated' originated from the Latin word 'unmitigatus', which means 'not softened'. It has been used in English since the 17th century. The prefix 'un-' signifies 'not' or 'opposite of', while 'mitigate' comes from the Latin 'mitigare', meaning 'to make less severe or painful'. Over the years, 'unmitigated' has evolved to represent something that is absolute, unqualified, or not softened in any way.
