Definitions

  1. Not met; unfulfilled; not achieved

Word origin

From un- (prefix meaning ‘not’) + met (the past participle of meet (“to come face to face with, encounter; to comply with, satisfy”)); probably related to Old English ungemet (“unmet”) (chiefly used as part of a compound)—the word is not attested in Middle English. Ġemet in ungemet is possibly a past participle form of ġemētan (“to come upon, encounter, meet; to discover, find”).

Used in a sentence

  • VVindes looſe their ſtrength, vvhen they do empty fly, / Vn-met of vvoods or buildings; […]
  • O Ancient Knight, thou sleepest then? / While through this poor land range the heathen men, / Unmet of any but my King and Lord: / Nay, let us see the deeds of thine old sword.
