un- 的英文释义

• An inseparable verbal prefix or particle. It is prefixed: (a) To

• verbs to express the contrary, and not the simple negative, of the

• action of the verb to which it is prefixed; as in uncoil, undo, unfold.

• (b) To nouns to form verbs expressing privation of the thing, quality,

• or state expressed by the noun, or separation from it; as in unchild,

• unsex.

  Sometimes particles and participial adjectives formed with this

• prefix coincide in form with compounds of the negative prefix un- (see

• 2d Un-); as in undone (from undo), meaning unfastened, ruined; and

• undone (from 2d un- and done) meaning not done, not finished. Un- is

• sometimes used with an intensive force merely; as in unloose.

• adv.

  An inseparable prefix, or particle, signifying not; in-;

• non-. In- is prefixed mostly to words of Latin origin, or else to words

• formed by Latin suffixes; un- is of much wider application, and is

• attached at will to almost any adjective, or participle used

• adjectively, or adverb, from which it may be desired to form a

• corresponding negative adjective or adverb, and is also, but less

• freely, prefixed to nouns. Un- sometimes has merely an intensive force;

• as in unmerciless, unremorseless.

• adv.

  Un- is prefixed to adjectives, or to words used adjectively.

• adv.

  To adjectives, to denote the absence of the quality

• designated by the adjective

• adv.

  To past particles, or to adjectives formed after the analogy

• of past particles, to indicate the absence of the condition or state

• expressed by them

• adv.

  To present particles which come from intransitive verbs, or

• are themselves employed as adjectives, to mark the absence of the

• activity, disposition, or condition implied by the participle; as, -

• ---- and the like.

• adv.

  Those which have acquired an opposed or contrary, instead of

• a merely negative, meaning; as, unfriendly, ungraceful, unpalatable,

• unquiet, and the like; or else an intensive sense more than a prefixed

• not would express; as, unending, unparalleled, undisciplined,

• undoubted, unsafe, and the like.

• adv.

  Those which have the value of independent words, inasmuch as

• the simple words are either not used at all, or are rarely, or at least

• much less frequently, used; as, unavoidable, unconscionable,

• undeniable, unspeakable, unprecedented, unruly, and the like; or

• inasmuch as they are used in a different sense from the usual meaning

• of the primitive, or especially in one of the significations of the

• latter; as, unaccountable, unalloyed, unbelieving, unpretending,

• unreserved, and the like; or inasmuch as they are so frequently and

• familiarly used that they are hardly felt to be of negative origin; as,

• uncertain, uneven, and the like.

• adv.

  Those which are anomalous, provincial, or, for some other

• reason, not desirable to be used, and are so indicated; as, unpure for

• impure, unsatisfaction for dissatisfaction, unexpressible for

• inexpressible, and the like.

• adv.

  Un- is prefixed to nouns to express the absence of, or the

• contrary of, that which the noun signifies; as, unbelief, unfaith,

• unhealth, unrest, untruth, and the like.
