Word origin
The word 'unresistant' is a combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'resistant' meaning 'offering resistance'. It originated in the late 19th century as a term used in medical and general contexts to describe something that does not resist or offer opposition. Over time, it has become commonly used to indicate lack of resistance or susceptibility.
