Etymology

The word 'untampered' is formed by the prefix 'un-' which means 'not', combined with the past participle 'tampered' derived from the verb 'tamper'. The verb 'tamper' has its roots in the early 17th century from the Middle French word 'tamper', which means to interfere or meddle. Originally, it often referred to an undesirable or improper interference with something. The creation of the term 'untampered' signifies something that has been respected and left in its original state, emphasizing the importance of authenticity and truthfulness in various fields such as law, technology, and science. Its usage has grown in contemporary language, particularly in contexts like computer security, forensic evidence, and quality control.
