The word "Unexceptive" is spelled as [ʌn.ɪkˈsɛp.tɪv] using the International Phonetic Alphabet. It is often confused with the more common term "unexceptional." However, "unexceptive" means "not admitting of exceptions or making no exception" and is often used in legal or academic contexts. The prefix "un-" removes the meaning of the base word "exceptive," which relates to the ability to make exceptions. Despite its precise meaning, "unexceptive" is not frequently used in everyday conversation.
