Etymology of UNPRECEDED

The word unpreceded is formed by combining the prefix un- which means not or lack of, and the word preceded which is the past participle of the verb precede.

The term precede has its roots in Latin. It comes from the Latin word praecedere, which can be broken down into prae- meaning before or in front of, and cedere meaning to go or to move. In this sense, precede means to go before or to come prior to.

By adding the prefix un- to preceded, we create unpreceded, which means not preceded or having no previous occurrence or example.
