Etymology

From Middle English unite, from Anglo-Norman, Old French unité, from Latin ūnitās, from ūnus (“one”) + noun of state suffix -itās, ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *óynos (“one, single”), hence distantly related to one and an. By surface analysis, unite + -y. Displaced native Old English ānnes (literally “oneness”).

Majuscule letter version of unity.

Webster’s 1913

  1. noun The state of being one; oneness.
  2. noun Concord; harmony; conjunction; agreement; uniformity; as, a unity of proofs; unity of doctrine.

Etymology [OE. unite, F. unité, L. unitas, from unus one. See One, and cf. Unit.]
