Pronunciation

  • /ənˈreɪtɪd/

Description

"Unrated" means something has not been given an official rating, score, or review. You often see it with movies, where an "unrated" version has not been given a standard age rating for release in that form. It can also describe something that simply has not been judged yet, like a new restaurant with no reviews or a player who has not been ranked.

Imagine a film released with extra scenes that were not part of the version rated for theaters. That new cut may be called "unrated." Or think of a product that has just appeared online and has no stars or feedback yet. In both cases, the idea is the same: it has not gone through the usual system of rating or evaluation.
