'unamplified' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'amplified' from Latin 'amplificare', where 'amplus' meant 'large' and 'facere' meant 'to make'.

'amplificare' transformed into the English word 'amplify', and with the addition of the prefix 'un-', it became 'unamplified'.

Initially, 'amplify' meant 'to make larger or more powerful', and 'unamplified' retains the meaning of 'not made larger or more powerful'.
