Etymology
The term 'unscored' combines the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', with the past participle 'scored' of the verb 'score'. The verb 'score' originates from the Middle English 'scoren', which is derived from the Old French 'escorer', which in turn comes from the Vulgar Latin 'excorare', meaning 'to mark off or notch'. The concept of scoring has been used in various contexts including games, music, and assessments for centuries. The prefix 'un-' has been used in English since the Old English period, indicating negation. Thus, 'unscored' has evolved to denote something that is devoid of a numerical or evaluative score.
