Where does the word unsung come from?

"Unsung" is a compound word, formed by adding the prefix "un-" to the past participle of the verb "sing." The prefix "un-" negates the meaning of the base word, making "unsung" the opposite of "sung." The word "sing" itself originates from Old English "singen," which in turn comes from the Proto-Germanic root "*singwan." The meaning of "unsung" therefore refers to something or someone that is not praised or celebrated in song, implying a lack of recognition or acclaim.
