Etymology
'unfairly-determined' originates from the combination of 'unfairly' and 'determined'. 'Unfairly' comes from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'fairly' meaning 'in a fair manner'. 'Determined' comes from Latin 'determinare', meaning 'to limit' or 'to fix'.
'Unfairly' evolved from Middle English 'unfaire', and 'determined' from Middle English 'determinen'.
Initially, 'determined' meant 'to fix boundaries', but over time it evolved to mean 'to decide or resolve'.
