The word is formed from the negative prefix un- (Old English un-, expressing negation) combined with apprehensive, which derives from the Latin apprehendere (to seize, grasp, or understand). First appearing in the late 16th century, it evolved from meaning incapable of understanding to its modern psychological sense of lacking fear, anxiety, or apprehension.
