Surface Forms

undrunk positive

Morphology

undrunk = drunk (semi-transparent) = un + drunk

Derived by negating the figurative sense of 'drunk' (e.g., 'drunk with power'), which requires knowledge of the metaphorical extension.

Etymology

Undrunk also uses un- 'not' plus drunk, and a helpful way to remember this sense is to think of someone not 'drunk' on success; it means 'not carried away' and still calm and clear-headed.
