Without anyone or anything resisting or standing against you; having no opposition or resistance.
Prefix 'un-' (not) + 'opposed' (from Latin 'opponere,' to place against). The word literally means 'not placed against' or 'not resisted.'
In elections, 'unopposed' candidates win without campaigning, which sounds great until you realize it often means the position isn't contested and democracy is weakened. Democracy actually needs healthy opposition!
