Pronunciation: [ʌnʃˈe͡ɪvd] (IPA) 
The correct spelling of the word "unshaved" follows the standard English phonetic rules. It is spelled as /ʌnˈʃeɪvd/, with the "un-" prefix indicating the opposite or absence of the root word "shaved," and the "sh" sound followed by the "a" sound, represented by the letter "e." The "-ed" suffix marks the past tense and the passive voice. This word is commonly used to describe facial hair that has not been removed by shaving.
Unshaved, an adjective, refers to the state or condition of lacking facial or body hair removal, commonly in reference to a person's face. It describes someone who has not removed or trimmed their beard, mustache, or other facial hair, resulting in a noticeable growth of hair on the face. The term can also extend to other areas of the body where hair is typically removed, such as the legs or underarms.
Being unshaved can convey a sense of ruggedness, informality, or non-conformity, as it is often associated with a more natural appearance. It may be a deliberate choice to maintain one's facial or body hair without removing it for personal, cultural, or style-related reasons. For example, some individuals grow their beard unshaved as a means to project masculinity, while others may do so as a form of self-expression or as a rebellion against societal norms. Additionally, unshaved can be a temporary state, for instance, when someone is taking a break from their regular grooming routine or waiting for their facial hair or body hair to grow.
The term unshaved is commonly used in the context of personal grooming, fashion and style discussions, or when describing the appearance of others. It is an adjective that encapsulates the notion of growth and maintenance of facial or body hair in its natural form.
Not having the beard dressed with a razor.

The word "unshaved" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" which means "not" or "lacking", and the verb "shave". The word "shave" has its roots in the Old English word "scafian" which also meant "to shave". Over time, through the evolution of the English language, "un-" was combined with "shave" to create the word "unshaved". This term is commonly used to describe something or someone that has not been subjected to the act of shaving and therefore is characterized by the presence of hair.
