Etymology

The word 'unscented' is derived from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'the opposite of', combined with 'scented', which stems from the Middle English word 'scent', itself derived from the Old French 'sentir', meaning 'to smell'. Over time, the evolution of language led to the term 'scent' encompassing a broader range of meanings related to odor, fragrance, and olfactory perception. In modern usage, particularly with the rise of awareness around allergies and sensitivities, 'unscented' has gained popularity to denote products that lack added fragrances or strong odors, thus making them more suitable for a diverse audience.
