The root of the word "unclean" is the word "clean," which comes from the Old English "clæne," meaning pure or free from dirt. The prefix "un-" is a negative prefix indicating the opposite or lack of the quality described by the root, thus transforming "clean" into "unclean" to denote something that is not clean.
