Definitions

Etymology: "Unwrote" is the simple past of "unwrite," which is formed from the prefix "un-" attached to "write." The prefix "un-" is a productive English device that reverses or cancels an action, as in "undo" or "unmake," so "unwrite" literally means to reverse the act of writing. Its past tense, "unwrote," therefore describes having retracted or erased something already put down in writing, or having decided against recording it at all.
