Surface Forms

unliquidated positive

Morphology

unliquidated = liquidated (transparent) = un + liquidate

Formed by adding the negation prefix 'un-' to the participial/adjectival 'liquidated', so the meaning 'not settled or converted into cash' is directly inferable.

Etymology

Unliquidated starts with the part un- and the verb liquidate, and liquidate comes from liquid, which means 'fluid' and in business grew to mean 'turn into cash'. So unliquidated describes money, assets, or claims that have not yet been turned into cash or finally settled.
