unprolific

/ˌʌn.pɹəˈlɪf.ɪk/ adj

Not prolific.

Word Origin Unprolific means not prolific, not producing much. 'Prolific' comes from Latin 'proles' (offspring) + 'facere' (to make) — literally 'making offspring.' So a prolific writer makes many works. Unprolific is the opposite. The root 'proles' also gives us 'proletariat' (the class that produces offspring, the common people). And 'facere' gives us 'factory', 'manufacture', etc.
