Word origin

The word 'unoccupied' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle of the verb 'occupy', ultimately derived from the Latin word 'occupare' meaning 'to seize' or 'to take over'. The term has been in use since the 17th century, evolving to its current meaning of 'not being used or filled with activity.'
