Word origin
The word 'unseized' originates from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the past participle of the verb 'seize.' It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. Over time, 'unseized' has been primarily used in legal contexts to describe property or assets that have not been taken possession of by legal authorities. In a more general sense, it is also used to indicate opportunities or chances that have been missed or overlooked.
