Origin of the word undone

The word "undone" comes from the Old English "undón," a combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" and "dón" meaning "to do." It literally means "not done" or "not completed." Over time, "undone" evolved to encompass a broader sense of being untied, unfastened, or undone in a metaphorical sense, like being defeated or ruined. The word's history reflects the gradual development of language to express complex concepts from simple roots.
