Etymology

The word 'unwelcomeness' is a derivative of 'unwelcome', which originated in the late 14th century from the combination of 'un-' (not) and 'welcome' (pleasing, acceptable). Over the years, 'unwelcome' evolved to 'unwelcomeness' to describe the state or quality of being unwelcome. The term emphasizes the negative aspect of not being wanted or accepted in a particular situation or environment.
