Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Formed in English by prefixing the negative morpheme 'un-' (from Old English 'on-', indicating reversal or negation) to the past participle of 'relish'. The verb 'relish' derives from Old French 'releischier' or Anglo-Norman 'relissier', meaning to leave an aftertaste or to taste again, ultimately tracing back to the Late Latin root 're-'.
