Etymology

The word 'unstopped' is formed by combining the prefix 'un-', which denotes negation, with the past participle 'stopped.' The prefix 'un-' originates from Old English 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of.' It is related to similar prefixes in other Germanic languages. 'Stopped' comes from the verb 'stop,' which traces back to the Old English word 'stoppian,' meaning to close or obstruct. The evolution of the word has allowed 'unstopped' to convey a clear meaning of something that is not hindered or obstructed, applicable in various contexts such as plumbing, creativity, and flow of information.
