uncategorized

/ʌŋkˈæɾɪɡɚɹˌaɪzd/ adj

Not having been sorted into a category.

Word Origin Category comes from Greek kata- 'down, against' and agora 'assembly, marketplace' — originally, to categorize was to speak against someone in a public assembly, to accuse. Over time, it shifted to mean 'to classify, to put into a class.' Uncategorized is simply 'not categorized.' The same root agora gives us agoraphobia (fear of public places), and kata- appears in catastrophe (downward turn) and catalog (a list, literally 'down' + 'word').
