Etymology: The prefix "un-" is one of English's oldest negating elements, inherited from Proto-Germanic and descending from the Proto-Indo-European root for "not." It was already part of the Old English vocabulary, so the native prefix has been attached to countless words over more than a thousand years. Here it joins "varied," the past participle of "vary," which came into English from Latin "variare," meaning "to change" or "to diversify." "Unvaried" is therefore a plain combination: "un-" reverses the sense of "varied," so the word describes something that has not changed, diversified, or fluctuated. Its meaning is transparent, which is why it reads as a straightforward negation rather than a term with a separate history of its own.
