Pronunciation: [ʌnsˈɛpʌlt͡ʃəd] (IPA) 
The word "Unsepulchered" is spelled with a "ch" sound but pronounced with a "k" sound. This is because the "ch" is followed by a "u" in this word, which makes it a digraph that represents the "k" sound. Additionally, there is no "t" sound in the word, even though it may be tempting to spell it as "Unsepulchred". The word means not having been buried in a grave or tomb and is commonly used in literature and poetry.
Unsepulchered is an adjective that refers to something or someone that has not been given a proper burial or interment. The term comprises the negation of "sepulchered," which is derived from the word "sepulcher," meaning a tomb or grave.
When used to describe a deceased person, unsepulchered implies that the individual's remains have not been laid to rest in a customary or appropriate manner. It suggests a lack of respect or neglect in handling the deceased and is often associated with a sense of disregard for religious or cultural customs surrounding death and burial practices. Unsepulchered can also allude to the absence of a tombstone, marker, or any type of memorial to commemorate the person who has passed away.
In a more metaphorical sense, unsepulchered can describe something that is neglected, forgotten, or left without proper recognition or acknowledgment. It may refer to ideas, concepts, or aspects that have been disregarded or overlooked, as if they were hidden away and ignored, much like an unnamed or unmarked grave.
Overall, the term unsepulchered primarily conveys the absence of a befitting burial or interment ritual, both literally and figuratively, often suggesting a lack of recognition, reverence, or commemoration.
