adjective 1. having no interest; indifferent There are no uninteresting things, only uninterested people. Gilbert K. Chesterton, 1874 – 1936 etymology A combination of the English negative prefix un- (not), akin to the Latin negative prefix in-, and the English adjective interested, which is ultimately derived from the Latin prepositional prefix inter- (between, among, within, involved with) and est the third person singular of the Latin verb sum, esse, fui, futurum (to be). Thank you to Allen Ward for providing this etymology.
