unsafeguarded

/ʌnsˈeɪfɡɑɹdᵻd/ adj

Not safeguarded.

Word Origin Unsafeguarded is a double-layered word: safe from Latin salvus 'uninjured' and guard from Frankish wardōn 'to watch over.' The un- prefix negates it, so something unsafeguarded is left without protection. The guard root also gives us warden, award, and reward — all about watching and keeping.
