uncaptioned

/ʌŋkˈæpʃənd/ adj

Not given a caption.

Word Origin Uncaptioned means not having a caption. Caption comes from Latin 'capere' meaning to take or seize—a caption originally 'takes' the essence of an image. The same root gives us capture (to take), captive (taken), and concept (something taken in by the mind). The un- prefix simply negates it. So uncaptioned is an image that hasn't been 'taken' by words.
