Unisex stands for the meaning that either gender or sex will be able to, but can also be another term for gender-blindness.

The term was coined in the 1962 and was used fairly informally. Though the combining form uni- is from the Latin unus meaning one, the term seems to have been influenced by words such as united and universal where the uni- prefix takes on the sense of shared. In this sense, it can be seen as meaning shared by both sexes.
