[1913 Webster]
Note: The above classes of words are unlimited in extent, and
such compounds may be formed by any writer or speaker
at will from almost all the adjectives or participles
in the language, excepting those which have a
recognized and usual negative correspondent with the
prefix -in. No attempt will be made, therefore, to
define them all in this Dictionary; many will be
omitted from its Vocabulary which are negations of the
simple word, and are readily explained by prefixing a
not to the latter. Derivatives of these words in -ly
and -ness will also, for the most part, be omitted for
the same or similar reasons.
[1913 Webster] There will be inserted as separate
articles with definitions, the following:
[1913 Webster] 1. 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.
[1913 Webster] 2. 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.
[1913 Webster] 3. 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.
[1913 Webster]
II . 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.
[1913 Webster]
Note: Compounds of this last class are given in full in their
proper order in the Vocabulary.
