'unfairly-judged' originates from the combination of 'unfairly' and 'judged', where 'unfairly' is derived from 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'fair' meaning 'just or equitable', and 'judged' is the past participle of 'judge', which comes from Latin 'judicare'.

'unfairly-judged' changed from the Old English 'unfæger' meaning 'not fair' and 'judged' from Latin 'judicare', eventually becoming the modern English term 'unfairly-judged'.

Initially, it meant 'not judged fairly', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
