Etymology: "Unqueued" is a plain formation: the prefix "un-", meaning "not", attached to "queued," the past participle of "queue." The prefix has been productive in English since Old English, where it attached freely to adjectives and participles to reverse their sense, so "unqueued" follows an ordinary pattern rather than a special story. The base "queue" came into English from French, where it meant "tail," and its path back to the Latin "cauda" is a familiar one for words describing lines of people. A queue was originally a tail or the end of something, and only later came to mean a file of people or things waiting in turn. The adjective "unqueued" describes whatever is not in such a line, such as a request, a task, or a customer who has not joined one.
