The term "unprised" is an adjective used to describe something that has not been valued, appraised, or assessed in terms of its worth or importance. It can be observed as a combination of the prefix "un-" meaning not or without, and the word "prised" or "prise," which refers to the act of evaluating or recognizing the value of something.
When an object, idea, or person is deemed unprised, it means that it has yet to undergo any formal estimation or acknowledgment of its significance, contribution, or potential. This lack of valuation can arise from various reasons such as ignorance, oversight, or simply the absence of any appraisal or recognition process.
The term "unprised" often carries a connotation of being underrated, as it implies that the subject has not received the level of attention, acclaim, or worth that it potentially deserves. However, it doesn't necessarily imply that the subject has no value, but rather that it has not been properly acknowledged or evaluated.
In summary, "unprised" refers to something that has not undergone any formal appraisal or estimation of its value, leaving it unrecognized or underrated.
Not valued.
