Etymology
The term 'unrated' stems from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', combined with 'rated', which originates from the Middle English word 'rat', referring to a grade or evaluation. The concept of rating has its roots in the Latin word 'ratios', meaning 'computation' or 'reckoning'. The use of 'unrated' gained popularity in the latter half of the 20th century, particularly in the context of movies and video games, where various organizations and boards began formally categorizing content to guide audiences. As content became more widespread and varied, 'unrated' emerged as an important label, indicating material that had not yet been evaluated, thus influencing consumer choices and regulatory practices. Today, the term is commonly used across various media and products, highlighting the need for assessment and evaluation.
