Etymology

The word "unlimited" combines the prefix "un-" (Old English "un-," meaning "not"), the root "limit" (from Latin "limes," meaning "boundary" or "threshold"), and the suffix "-ed" (used to form adjectives). The progression reflects a negation of boundaries, evolving from the literal sense of "having no bounds" to figurative meanings like "infinite" or "boundless."
