Word origin
The word 'unreasonable' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'reasonable', which comes from the Latin 'rationabilis' meaning 'endowed with reason'. The concept of reason has been a fundamental aspect of human thought and behavior throughout history, with philosophers and thinkers exploring the nature of reason and its role in decision-making and judgment.
