'uncharged' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and the word 'charged' from the Old French 'charger', meaning 'to load or burden'.

'uncharged' evolved from the Middle English 'uncharged', which combined 'un-' with 'charged', maintaining its meaning of 'not charged'.

Initially, it meant 'not loaded or burdened', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'not having an electric charge'.
