Word origin
The word 'untapped' originated in the mid-19th century, formed by combining 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'tapped' (referring to the action of drawing liquid from a container). The concept of something being untapped implies that its full potential has not yet been realized or utilized. Over time, the word has come to represent the idea of undiscovered opportunities waiting to be explored and developed.
