Etymology: "Unimpressed" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-", meaning "not," attached to the adjective "impressed." The prefix goes back through Old English and Proto-Germanic to a Proto-Indo-European root meaning "not," which is why it appears in so many English words, from "unhappy" to "unusual." "Impressed" comes from the older sense of impress as making a mark on something, as a seal presses an impression into wax. Used figuratively, the mark came to mean an effect left on the mind or feelings, so to be impressed is to have been affected by something. Adding "un-" reverses that: nothing has left a mark, and the observer remains unmoved.
