Etymology
Etymology Information

'unannotatedly' originates from English, specifically formed from the prefix 'un-' (from Old English 'un-') meaning 'not', the past-participle/adjective 'annotated' (from Latin 'annotatus', from 'annotare'), and the adverbial suffix '-ly' (from Old English '-lic', later '-ly').

Historical Evolution

'unannotated' developed from the past participle of Latin 'annotare' (via Middle English forms of 'annotate'), and the modern adverb 'unannotatedly' was formed by adding the productive English adverbial suffix '-ly' to that adjective.

Meaning Changes

Initially, the Latin root 'notare/annotare' meant 'to note' or 'to mark', and combined with the negative prefix 'un-' it originally signified 'not noted'; over time the compound has come to be used simply to mean 'in a way that lacks annotations' in modern English.
