Etymology of IMMERITED

The word "immerited" is derived from two components: "im-" and "merited".

The prefix "im-" is a negating prefix in English, indicating the absence or opposite of something. In this case, it negates the term "merited" and indicates the absence of merit.

The term "merited" comes from the verb "merit", which is derived from the Latin "meritus", meaning "deserved" or "earned". It implies that something or someone has earned or deserved a particular quality, reward, or recognition.

When the prefix "im-" is combined with "merited", it creates "immerited", which means "not deserved" or "unearned". It denotes that something has been received or obtained without justification or deserving it.
