Etymology
The word "unfeigned" combines the prefix "un-" (meaning "not") with the root "feign" (from Old French "feindre," meaning "to pretend or fabricate") and the suffix "-ed" (forming an adjective). "Feign" itself traces back to Latin "fingere" (to shape or invent). The term evolved to describe something not fabricated—thus, genuinely sincere or authentic.
