mid-14c., "not prepared," from un- (1) "not" + ready (adj.).
In English history, applied from c. 1200 (Etheldredus Unrad) to Anglo-Saxon King ?eelr?d II (968-1016), where it preserves Middle English unredi, a different adjective, from Old English unger?d "ill-advised, rede-less, no-counsel" and plays on the king's name (which means "good-counsel"). Old English r?d "advice, counsel" is related to read (v.). Rede "counsel" survived in poetic usage to 17c. An attempted revival by Scott (19c.) failed, though it is used in Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings."
