The word "undelighted" is formed by adding the prefix "un-" to the word "delighted".
The etymology of "delight" traces to the Middle English word "delit", which came from the Old French term "delit" meaning "pleasure" or "satisfaction". Further back, "delit" can be linked to the Latin word "delectare", which means "to charm" or "to please". The prefix "un-" is a negative prefix in English, denoting the opposite or absence of the quality expressed by the base word. Therefore, the combination of "un-" and "delighted" in "undelighted" indicates the negation or absence of the state of being delighted.
