un-American. Un-American is a very American word, dat- ing back to at least 1817, when it is first recorded, and not at all of recent vintage. It means contrary to U.S. values, even traitor- ous, and was most prominent recently in the name of the House [of Representatives] Un-American Activities Committee, ac- tive from 1938 to 1975, which critics claim was more un- American than many of the people it investigated.
