Etymology

The word 'unreported' is a compound adjective formed by the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', and the past participle 'reported', which derives from the verb 'report'. The verb 'report' comes from the Latin 'reportare', where 're-' means 'back' and 'portare' means 'to carry'. The term began to gain prevalence in the English language by the 19th century, particularly in legal and journalistic contexts, where it refers to information that has not been disclosed or formally recorded. Unreported incidents often raise concerns, particularly in areas such as crime, healthcare, and environmental issues, as they indicate a lack of awareness or transparency related to these occurrences.
