Word origin

The word 'unsuspected' originated from the combination of the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' or 'opposite of' and the past participle of the verb 'suspect'. It first appeared in the English language in the early 17th century. Over time, 'unsuspected' has evolved to describe something that is not expected or anticipated, adding depth to the vocabulary of surprise and unpredictability.
