Definition
Not ready or not having made plans for something that's about to happen.
Etymology
From Old English 'un-' (prefix meaning not) + 'prepared' (from Old French 'preparer'). This compound word clearly shows how the prefix flips the meaning of the root word.
Kelly Says
Research shows that students who say they're 'just unprepared' for a test actually perform worse than students who admit to not studying—the mindset shift from 'unprepared' to 'I didn't prepare' makes a huge difference.
