unsurprised

/ʌnsɚpɹˈaɪzd/ adj

Not surprised

Word Origin Surprise comes from Latin superprehendere 'to overtake, seize from above' — super 'over' + prehendere 'to grasp'. So a surprise is something that grabs you unexpectedly. Unsurprised means not caught off guard. The prehendere root gives us apprehend (seize mentally), comprehend (grasp together), and reprehensible (worthy of being seized back, blameworthy). The super prefix also appears in surmount (overcome) and surpass (go beyond).
