Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the prefix un- (meaning not) combined with apprised, which stems from the French appris, past participle of apprendre (to learn, inform), originating from the Latin apprehendere. Entering English usage in the late 17th century, it describes a state of lacking information or being uninformed about a particular matter.
