Etymology of UNCONTEMNED

The word uncontemned is formed by adding the prefix un- to the verb contemn.

The verb contemn originated from the Latin word contemnere, which means to despise or to scorn. The Latin word is a combination of con- (meaning together or thoroughly) and temnere (meaning to scorn or to despise).

Over time, contemn has evolved in English to mean to regard with contempt or to consider as unworthy or negligible.

By adding the prefix un- to contemn, we get uncontemned, which essentially means not despised or not scorned.
