Etymology of UNSUBTLEST

The word "unsubtlest" consists of two components: "un-" and "subtlest".

The prefix "un-" is a common English prefix that means "not" or "opposite of". It is derived from Old English and is used to negate or reverse the meaning of a word. In this case, "un-" is added to the adjective "subtlest" to indicate that something is not subtle.
