"Unprepared" is a combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" and the adjective "prepared." "Prepared" has roots in Old French "preparer," meaning "to make ready." This comes from the Latin "praeparare," which combines "prae" (before) and "parare" (to make ready). Therefore, "unprepared" literally means "not made ready" or "lacking in readiness." Its origin lies in the concept of not being ready for something, signifying a lack of preparation.
