      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-

      An inseparable verbal prefix or particle. It is prefixed:

            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.
  
      Note: Compounds of this prefix are given in full in their
               proper order in the Vocabulary.
