Derived from the prefix un- (meaning not) combined with attended, stemming from the Middle English attenden, originating from Old French attendre, ultimately from Latin attendere (to stretch towards, pay attention). The combined adjective form emerged in the late 16th century to describe people, objects, or luggage left without supervision or care.
