Etymology of UNUPHELD

The word "unupheld" is a combination of the prefix "un-" and the word "upheld".

The prefix "un-" is a commonly used English negative prefix that indicates the absence or opposite of a particular quality or condition. In this case, it indicates the opposite of being upheld.

The word "upheld" is the past participle of the verb "uphold". It derives from the Old English word "ūphaldan", which combines "ūp" (meaning up) and "haldan" (meaning hold). So, "upheld" originally meant to hold up or support something.

By adding the prefix "un-" to "upheld", the word "unupheld" is formed, implying the absence or lack of support or being upheld.
