Surface Forms

undrunk positive

Morphology

undrunk = drunk (transparent) = un + drunk

Standard negation of the participial/adjectival form 'drunk' meaning 'not consumed' or 'not intoxicated', which is directly inferable from the components.

Etymology

Undrunk is made from un- meaning 'not' and drunk from 'drink', so it literally means 'not drunk' — for a cup or bottle left without being drunk or a person not affected by alcohol.
