uninterested
UK: ʌnˈɪntrɪstɪd | US: ʌnˈɪntrɪstɪd
adj. not interested; indifferent or unconcerned
adj. free from bias or personal involvement (archaic)
The word "uninterested" combines the negative prefix "un-" (from Old English "un-," meaning "not") with "interest," derived from Latin "interesse" ("to be between, to concern"). The suffix "-ed" forms the adjective. Historically, "uninterested" originally meant "impartial" (16th century), but its meaning shifted to "indifferent" by the 18th century, influenced by the semantic overlap with "disinterested."
