Word origin
The word 'unpaired' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'paired,' which comes from the Old French word 'par' meaning 'equal.' The concept of being unpaired can be traced back to the idea of not being in a pair or match, whether in relationships or objects.
