The word "not allocated" is a combination of two separate words: "not" and "allocated".
The word "not" is a negating adverb used to indicate the negation or opposite of something. It derives from the Old English word "nāt", which means "not" or "no".
The word "allocated" is a verb form of the word "allocate", which comes from the Latin word "allocatus", the past participle of "allocare". "Allocare" is a combination of the prefix "ad-" meaning "to" and "locare" meaning "to place or put". So, "allocate" originally meant to place or assign something to a specific location or purpose.
When these two words, "not" and "allocated", are combined, they form the term "not allocated". This term is used to describe something that hasn't been assigned or designated to a specific purpose or location.
