Etymology

The word 'unworn' is derived from the prefix 'un-', which means 'not' or 'the opposite of', and the past participle 'worn' from the verb 'wear'. The verb 'wear' comes from the Old English 'werian', which means 'to hold or possess' and can be traced back to Proto-Germanic origins. The combination of 'un-' and 'worn' creates a term that effectively denotes an item that has not been put to use. Utilized primarily in fashion and retail contexts, 'unworn' emphasizes the state of being completely untouched, highlighting its desirability in the market for both consumers and retailers.
