Etymology
The word "untold" combines the Old English prefix "un-" (meaning "not") with the past participle "told" (from "tell," meaning "to reveal or narrate"). The prefix "un-" has Germanic roots and is widely used in English to negate the meaning of the base word. "Tell" originates from Old English "tellan," meaning "to count, relate, or declare." Over time, "untold" evolved to describe things that are either too vast to quantify or deliberately kept hidden.
