Nadide

​Origin

​This word entered our language from the Persian term nā-dīde (نادیده), which is formed by combining the negative prefix nā- with dīde (دیده), meaning "seen" or "eye". In its original Persian usage, the word carried the active meaning of "not seen"; its passive meaning of "unseen" or "without parallel" developed uniquely in Turkish.
