Word origin
The word 'unorthodoxy' originated in the mid 19th century, derived from the combination of 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'orthodoxy' (meaning 'authorized or generally accepted theory, doctrine, or practice'). The term is often used to describe deviation from traditional or accepted norms, particularly in religious or societal contexts.
