Etymology of UNINVOKED

The word "uninvoked" is derived from the prefix "un-" which means 'not' or 'opposite of,' and the verb "invoke".

The word "invoke" originates from the Latin term "invocare", which combines "in-" (meaning 'into' or 'upon') and "vocare" (meaning 'to call'). In Latin, "invocare" referred to calling upon a deity or seeking divine assistance. Over time, the meaning of "invoke" evolved to include calling upon or summoning something or someone, not limited to the divine.

The addition of the "un-" prefix to "invoke" creates "uninvoked", which indicates that something has not been called upon or summoned. It implies the absence of invocation or the lack of an invocation made.
