Origin

Late Middle English (in the sense 'lacking strength, infirm'): from un-¹ 'not' + wieldy (in the obsolete sense 'active').

The early meaning recorded was ‘lacking strength, infirm’. The word is composed of the prefix un- ‘not’ and wieldy in the obsolete sense ‘active’, from the Old English wield ‘rule, direct’. Unwieldy has meant ‘huge and awkward in shape’ since the late 16th century.
