Etymology of UNENVIED
The word "unenvied" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" and the verb "envy".
The prefix "un-" is of Germanic origin and is used to negate or reverse the meaning of the base word it is attached to. In this case, "un-" is used to indicate the absence or lack of something.
The verb "envy" comes from Old French "envie" and Latin "invidia", both meaning "ill-will" or "hostility". It originated from the Latin verb "invidere", which means "to look against" or "to cast an evil eye". Over time, "envy" has come to refer to feeling discontent or resentment towards someone else's possessions, qualities, or success.
