Etymology of UNDIVERTED

The word "undiverted" is derived from two separate components: "un-" and "diverted".

The prefix "un-" is derived from Old English and has the meaning of "not" or "opposite of". It is commonly used to negate the meaning of the word it precedes.

The word "diverted" is the past participle form of the verb "divert". "Divert" is derived from the Latin word "divertire", which means "to turn aside" or "to move in a different direction". In English, "divert" means to redirect or cause something/someone to change course or direction.

Combining "un-" and "diverted" gives us the word "undiverted", meaning "not turned aside" or "not redirected".
