Word origin

The word 'unrepentantly' is derived from the adjective 'unrepentant', which itself combines the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', and 'repent', which comes from the Latin 'paenitere', meaning 'to feel regret'. The evolution of the word can be traced through Middle English, where 'repenten' was used to signify a feeling of remorse or contrition. Over time, the addition of 'un-' created a term that describes a lack of such feelings. The usage of 'unrepentantly' has been more prominent in modern literature and media to convey strong, often negative, emotions associated with a refusal to acknowledge wrongdoing.
