Uncooked
Uncooked (pronunciation: /ʌnˈkʊkt/) refers to food items that have not undergone the process of cooking. The term is derived from the Old English 'un' meaning 'not' and 'cócian' meaning 'to cook'.
Etymology
The term 'uncooked' is a compound word in English, formed by combining the prefix 'un-', meaning 'not', with the verb 'cook'. The prefix 'un-' is of Germanic origin, from an Indo-European root shared by Latin 'in-' and Greek 'n-' (both meaning 'not'). The verb 'cook' is derived from the Old English 'cócian', which is of Latin origin from 'coquere' meaning 'to cook'.
