The word "unbecoming" originated from the combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" or "opposite of", and the word "becoming".
"Becoming" can be traced back to the Old English word "becuman", which meant "to come to, arrive, befit". The word "become" was derived from it, with the meaning "to be fitting, seemly, or appropriate". Over time, "unbecoming" was formed, negating the meaning of "becoming", to express something that is not fitting, suitable, or proper.
