Pronunciation: [ʌndˈɒkt] (IPA) 
Undocked is spelled as ʌn.dɒkt. The word consists of two parts: "un-" which is a negative prefix indicating the absence of something, and "docked" which means to remove a boat from a dock. The stress is on the first syllable "un-", followed by the short vowel "o" sound in "dock". The final "ed" is pronounced as "t" because the preceding sound is unvoiced. Overall, "undocked" means something which has not been removed from a dock.
Undocked is an adjective that refers to something that has been detached or disconnected from a dock or a docking station. It describes an object or entity that is free from its usual or expected position of being secured or attached to a dock.
In the context of transportation and logistics, undocked typically refers to a ship or a boat that is no longer connected to a docking facility. When a vessel is undocked, it means it has been released from or has departed the dock where it was previously moored or secured. This can occur after completing necessary loading or unloading operations, refueling, or undertaking repairs or maintenance work.
Furthermore, undocked may also pertain to electronic devices or gadgets. In this sense, undocked relates to a device that has been disconnected from a docking station or a charging station. For instance, when a smartphone or tablet is undocked, it implies that it is no longer connected to a docking station that provides power or synchronization with an external device.
Overall, undocked signifies the state of being unattached or disengaged from a dock or docking station, whether it refers to a vessel being released from a port or a device being disconnected from a docking facility.
The word "undocked" is derived from the combination of two elements: "un-" and "docked".
1. "Un-" is a prefix of English origin, derived from Old English and ultimately from Germanic roots. It means "not" or "opposite of". When added to a word, it negates or reverses its meaning. For example, "undone" means not done, "unequal" means not equal, etc.
2. "Docked" is the past participle of the verb "dock", which has multiple meanings. One of its meanings is to remove or cut off a part, particularly when referring to the shortening of a tail, the truncation of a ship, or the removal of an animal's appendage.
