Origin of the word uninteresting

"Uninteresting" is a compound word formed from the prefix "un-" meaning "not" and the adjective "interesting." "Interesting" originated from the verb "interest," which traces back to the Latin word "interesse," meaning "to be between, to concern, to matter." The "un-" prefix was added to "interesting" to create the opposite meaning, thus signifying "not interesting" or "lacking interest." The word "uninteresting" first appeared in the 16th century, reflecting the growing use of prefixes to create antonyms in English.
