Etymology

1885–1890, New Latin, from Latin inēdita, neuter plural of inēditus, from in- (“not”) + ēditus (neuter plural ēdita), perfect form of ēdō (“publish, put forth”) (as in English edition), from ē (“out”) (from ēx) + dō (“give”), all from Proto-Indo-European roots. Various Romance cognates such as French inédit and Italian inedito.
