Etymology
The word 'unquestioned' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of', and 'questioned', the past participle of 'question'. It first appeared in the English language in the 16th century, evolving to represent something that is not doubted or contested. Over time, 'unquestioned' has retained its meaning of being accepted without dispute or challenge.
