/ˌʌnˈtəʊld//ˌʌnˈtəʊld/

The word "untold" originated in Middle English as "unrehald," meaning "not recounted" or "unreported." The word "rehald" itself came from the Old English word "rhæld," which referred to something related to news or report. In time, the word "rehald" evolved into "told" or "recounted" in Middle English. "Untold" as we know it today, which means "not yet told" or "unknown," is a variation of this word. It was first recorded in Old English as "unraht," but it wasn't commonly used until the 14th century in Middle English, when it was spelled "unlinkede and untold." By the 15th century, the spelling had changed to "untyeld" before settling on "untold" in the 16th century. Overall, "untold" has undergone some variations in spelling over time, but its meaning has remained relatively consistent: to describe something that has not yet been told or revealed to others.
