'tech-unsavvy' originates from the combination of 'tech,' a short form of 'technology,' and 'unsavvy,' where 'un-' is a prefix meaning 'not,' and 'savvy' means 'knowledgeable or proficient.'

'tech-unsavvy' evolved from the increasing use of technology in daily life, highlighting the gap between those who are proficient and those who are not.

Initially, it meant 'not knowledgeable in technology,' and this meaning has remained consistent as technology becomes more integral to daily life.
