The word "unaroused" is derived from two separate components: "un-" and "aroused".
1. "Un-" is a prefix commonly used in English to form words that convey the opposite or negation of the root word. In this case, "un-" indicates the opposite of being aroused, meaning not stimulated or excited.
2. "Aroused" is the past participle of the verb "arouse". It originated from the Middle English word "arousen" which traces back to the Old French term "arouser". The Old French word "arouser" was derived from the Latin "ad" (meaning "to") and "rodere" (meaning "to gnaw" or "to rub"). Over time, "arouse" came to mean to awaken, excite, or provoke someone's interest or attention.
