覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
notice「気づく」に否定の un- と過去分詞語尾 -ed が付き、「気づかれていない」という受け身の状態を作ります。go unnoticed「気づかれないままである」、slip away unnoticed「気づかれずに立ち去る」を一まとまりで覚えます。副詞のように訳せる場合も、語形上は主に形容詞です。
Build unnoticed from notice: un- means “not,” and -ed gives the idea of being noticed, so unnoticed means “not noticed.” Visualize a spy slipping out unnoticed or a valuable contribution going unnoticed. Learn the common patterns go unnoticed, pass unnoticed, and remain unnoticed; each presents something that receives no attention. Although Japanese may translate it adverbially as 「気づかれずに」 after a verb such as leave or slip away, English generally treats unnoticed as an adjective describing the person, action, or thing that escaped attention.

unnoticed の語源・成り立ち Etymology
ラテン語 notitia（知識）から派生した notice に、否定の接頭辞 un- と過去分詞の -ed が付いた語。語根 not- は「知る」を意味し、notable（注目すべき）や notion（概念）と同根。「知られていない→気づかれない」という意味の成り立ち。
Unnoticed is formed within English from the negative prefix un- and noticed, the past participle of notice. Notice came through French from Latin notitia, meaning “knowledge,” “acquaintance,” or “being known,” ultimately related to Latin noscere, “to know.” The structure therefore expresses the state of not having been observed or recognized. Its modern uses include both literal invisibility and lack of attention or acknowledgment.
