Etymology of UNFIXT

The word "unfixt" is an archaic form of the word "unfixed".

The etymology of "unfixed" can be traced back to the Middle English period. It is derived from the Old English word "unfǣst" which carries the same meaning. In both cases, "un-" is a prefix indicating negation or reversal, and "fǣst" is the Old English term for "fixed" or "fastened". Thus, "unfixed" originally meant "not fixed" or "not fastened".

Over time, the spelling of the word evolved from "unfǣst" to "unfixt" during the transition from Middle English to Early Modern English. However, the current standard spelling is "unfixed".
