Etymology
The term 'unsealing' derives from the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not' or 'the opposite of', combined with the word 'seal', which originates from the Latin word 'sigillum'. Historically, a seal was a method used to ensure that a document had not been tampered with and to authenticate it. The act of sealing something often involved the use of wax or an impression from an official stamp. As the need for transparency and access to information increased, especially within legal frameworks, the term 'unsealing' emerged to describe the process of making sealed information available. Its usage has expanded to various contexts beyond law, reflecting broader themes of disclosure and transparency in communication.
