Etymology
'unfavorably-located' originates from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not', combined with 'favorably', which comes from 'favor', and 'located', from Latin 'locare', meaning 'to place'.
'Unfavorably-located' combines the negative prefix 'un-' with 'favorably', which evolved from Middle English 'favourable', and 'located', from Latin 'locatus'.
Initially, it meant 'not placed in a favorable position', and this meaning has largely remained the same in modern usage.
