What does UNFED mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Having gone without food; not given anything to eat.
An animal or person described as unfed has gone without food for some period, whether from neglect, hardship, or simply not yet having eaten. Older writing extends the word to fires and engines as well, where an unfed flame dwindles for lack of fuel much as a hungry creature weakens without food. Though built simply from the prefix un- attached to fed, unfed has stood on its own as a recognized adjective for centuries. Writers often use it for a stark, blunt effect, letting a single word convey neglect or deprivation.
