'Unimaginative' comes from the prefix 'un-' meaning 'not' and 'imaginative' from Latin 'imaginativus', while 'expressed' comes from Latin 'expressus'.
Initially, 'unimaginative' meant 'not having the power to create images', but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'lacking creativity'.
