Word origin

The word 'unrealized' originated from the combination of 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'realize' (from Latin 'realis', meaning 'actual'). It first appeared in the late 18th century to describe something that has not been achieved or fulfilled. Over time, its usage expanded to also refer to potential that has not been actualized. The term is commonly used in the context of investments and personal aspirations.
