Etymology

The word 'unmolded' is derived from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle of the verb 'mold', which comes from the Old English word 'māled' meaning 'a model or mold'. The term originated in the baking industry to describe items that were not shaped or formed using a mold.
