unshaded

C2
adjective

Pronunciation

UK

  • /ʌnʃˈeɪdɪd/

US

  • /ʌnʃˈeɪdɪd/

Description

Imagine a hot summer day with no tree, roof, or umbrella nearby. Something unshaded is left without shade, so it sits in direct sun or bright light. An unshaded patio can feel very hot at noon, and an unshaded road offers no cover from the sun.

The word is also used in art and drawing. If part of a sketch is unshaded, that area has not been filled in with darker tone or shadow. The idea is simple: no shade, no cover, or no added shadow.
