The word unexacted is derived from the combination of the prefix un- and the verb exact.
- The prefix un- is of Old English origin, meaning not or lack of. It is used to negate the meaning of the word it is attached to.
- The verb exact has its roots in Latin, derived from the word exigere, which means to demand, require, or examine thoroughly. It entered the English language in the late 16th century with a similar meaning.
When the prefix un- is added to exact, it creates the word unexacted, which means not demanded or required.
