Etymology
The term 'unpolitical' is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' to the word 'political.' The prefix 'un-' comes from Old English, meaning 'not' or 'opposite of,' and has been used in the English language since at least the 13th century to indicate negation. The root word 'political' derives from the Greek 'politikos,' which pertains to citizens and public affairs. The combination of these elements has resulted in 'unpolitical' being used to describe those who deliberately choose to refrain from engaging in politics. This phenomenon was particularly noted in contexts where individuals or entities distanced themselves from political affiliations or arguments, promoting an agenda focused on neutrality or non-involvement.
