unattested

/ʌnætˈɛstᵻd/ adj

Not supported by attestation; lacking supporting evidence in the form of assurance from an authority.

Word Origin 'Attest' comes from Latin 'testari' meaning to bear witness, from 'testis' (witness). So 'attested' means witnessed, confirmed. 'Unattested' means not witnessed, not proven. The root 'testis' gives us 'testify' (to be a witness), 'testimony' (witness statement), 'protest' (to witness publicly against), and 'detest' (to witness against, curse). The 'un-' prefix negates.

adj Not supported by attestation; lacking supporting evidence in the form of assurance from an authority.
