The word "unrecorded" is derived from the prefix "un-" which means "not" or "lack of", and the verb "record".
The term "record" originated from the Latin word "recordari", which means "to call to mind", "to remember", or "to recollect". It later evolved into the Old French word "record", which had a more specific meaning of "to get by heart" or "to make a note of something".
The prefix "un-" is added to "record" to indicate the absence or lack of recording. Therefore, "unrecorded" means something that has not been recorded, written down, noted, or documented.
