Word origin
The term 'unsupervised' originates from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'without' and the word 'supervised'. It first appeared in the context of machine learning to describe algorithms that do not require labeled data for training. Over time, 'unsupervised' has also been used in a general sense to refer to situations or activities that are not under direct supervision or control.
