Etymology

The word 'unrealistic' originated in the mid-19th century, combining 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'realistic' (based on reality). It has been used to describe things that are not practical or feasible, as well as things that are purely imaginary or fantastical. Over time, the word has become commonly used in both negative and creative contexts to convey a sense of improbability or unreality.

See also: real, realism, realistic, realistically, reality, realize, really, realtor, surreal, unreal, unrealised, unrealistically, unrealizable, unrealized, unrealness.
