Definition

Describing something that has not been made or arranged, such as a bed that is not neatly prepared for sleeping.

Conversation

I can't believe how messy your room is right now.

I know, I still haven't made my bed; it's just an unmade disaster.

Do you ever feel like making it just takes too much time?

Definitely! But a made bed always looks better than an unmade one.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unmade → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "made" (from Old English "macian", meaning to make or create). The word "unmade" means not made or created, indicating something that has been undone or is in a state of disarray.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'made' — that's why unmade means something that is not made or is undone.
