Surface Forms

unexercised positive

Morphology

unexercised = exercised (transparent) = un + exercise + ed

Formed by adding the negative prefix 'un-' to 'exercised', yielding the straightforward meaning 'not exercised'.

Etymology

Unexercised comes from un- meaning 'not' and exercise meaning 'to train or put your body to work'. So an unexercised muscle is one that has not been trained and stays weak.
