Etymology

The term 'unsubscribe' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'to reverse or remove' and the word 'subscribe,' which has origins in the Latin 'subscribere.' 'Subscribere' itself is composed of 'sub-' meaning 'under' and 'scribere' meaning 'to write.' The practice of subscribing dates back to the 16th century, where it referred to the act of signing or writing under a document to express agreement. With the advent of digital communication and the proliferation of email marketing, the term evolved to encapsulate the process of opting out from receiving messages, leading to the modern usage of 'unsubscribe' that we recognize today.
