unauthentic

/ˌənɔˈθɛntɪk/ adj

Not authentic; inauthentic.

Word Origin Authentic comes from Greek authentikos, literally 'self-doer' — something that acts on its own authority, so it's genuine. The un- prefix just negates that, giving us 'not genuine.' You can see the same root in authenticate (to make genuine) and authenticity (the quality of being real).
