Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the prefix un- (Old English on-, meaning reversal or negation) combined with approved, the past participle of approve (from Old French approuver, ultimately from Latin approbare, to assent to or prove). The term emerged in modern English usage to denote something lacking official sanction, consent, or authorization.
