Etymology of UNSINEW

The word "unsinew" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" which means "not" or "lack of", and the noun "sinew".

The term "sinew" has roots in Old English, specifically from the word "seono" which referred to the tendons or ligaments in the body. It can be traced further back to Proto-Germanic, where the word "senewa" had a similar meaning. The concept of sinews being strong and resilient connective tissues in the body persisted across various Germanic languages.

When the "un-" prefix is added to "sinew", it forms "unsinew", which implies the absence or lack of sinew. In the context of the word, it suggests weakness, feebleness, or the loss of physical strength.
