Etymology of UNMARRY

The word "unmarry" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" and the verb "marry".

The prefix "un-" is of Old English origin and is commonly used to indicate the reversal or negation of a word's meaning. In this case, "un-" suggests the undoing or negation of the action of marrying.

The verb "marry" comes from the Middle English word "marien", which can be traced back to the Old English word "mǣrīgian". This Old English word was composed of "mǣre", meaning "famous" or "great", and "-ǣgian", denoting an action or state. As such, "mǣrīgian" initially referred to the formal union of two people and later evolved to specifically mean the legal or ceremonial act of marriage.
