Word origin

The word 'unpolluted' is formed by combining the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'polluted', which is derived from the Latin word 'pollutus', meaning 'to defile or stain'. The term became more commonly used in the 20th century as awareness of environmental issues and pollution increased. As industrialization and urbanization expanded, concerns over pollutants in natural resources led to a greater emphasis on the importance of maintaining unpolluted landscapes. Thus, the term began to appear frequently in environmental studies and conservation efforts.
