Etymology: "Unrigged" is a straightforward formation: the prefix "un-", meaning "not" or "the reverse of", attached to "rigged", the past participle of "rig." The participle itself carries the older sense of fitting out or equipping, and its later sense of fixing something dishonestly developed from that. Adding "un-" reverses that sense, so the adjective describes something that has not been secretly arranged or manipulated to produce a particular result.

Synonyms: fair, unbiased, unmanipulated, genuine, authentic

Antonyms: rigged, manipulated, biased, fixed, deceptive
