An inseparable verbal prefix or particle. It is prefixed: (a) To verbs to express the contrary
And not the simple negative of the action of the verb to which it is prefixed; as in uncoil undo unfold. (b) To nouns to form verbs expressing privation of the thing quality or state expressed by the noun or separation from it; as in unchild, unsex.

Un- is sometimes used with an intensive force merely; as in unloose.
