Etymology: "Uncleaned" is about as plain as English compounds get: the prefix "un-" attached to "cleaned," the past participle of "clean." The prefix descends from Old English "un-," which came from the same ancient negating root that gives "not" its sense in many languages, so the word's structure is inherited rather than borrowed. Its meaning follows directly from the parts: something that has been left in the state it was in, without the cleaning step ever being applied.

Synonyms: dirty, unwashed, unsanitary
