The letter "u" in the first syllable is pronounced as /ʌ/ which sounds like "uh". The "pr" in "pressed" is pronounced as /pr/ which makes the sound of "p" and "r" together.

Unpressed refers to something that has not been flattened, smoothed, or ironed with pressure. The term is often associated with clothes or fabrics that have not undergone the process of pressing or ironing to remove wrinkles, folds, or unevenness. When garments or fabrics are unpressed, they retain their natural texture, appearance, and any inherent creases or crevices. These unpressed fabrics may have a more relaxed or casual aesthetic, with a slight disheveled look, as opposed to the crisp and smooth appearance achieved through pressing.
The term can also be used in a metaphorical sense to describe other objects, surfaces, or situations that have not undergone a similar process of applying pressure to flatten or smoothen. For example, an unpressed flower may imply a flower that has not been flattened or preserved inside a book or through other methods, maintaining its three-dimensional shape. Similarly, unpressed documents or papers refer to those that have not been smoothed out or straightened, often implying their inchoate or unfinished state.
In summary, unpressed refers to the condition of something that has not undergone pressing, ironing, or flattening with pressure, leaving it in its natural or unaltered form. The term can be applied to fabrics, clothes, flowers, papers, and other objects that retain their original texture, shape, or appearance without becoming smoothed or flattened.
Not pressed or forced.

The word "unpressed" is derived from the verb "press" which traces its origins back to the 14th century. It comes from the Latin word "pressare" meaning "to press, push hard" which is a frequentative form of "premere" meaning "to press". In the context of "unpressed", the prefix "un-" is added to negate or indicate the absence of the action represented by the verb "press". Therefore, "unpressed" means not having been pressed or not subjected to pressure.
