Etymology
Unrealized is built from the prefix un- meaning 'not' and realize, which comes from real meaning 'real' and once meant 'to make real'. So, unrealized describes a talent, plan, or hope that was 'not made real' or 'not achieved', which is why it means someone or something has not reached its full potential.
