Definition
Complete and not shortened; containing all the original content without cuts or condensation.
Etymology
From English 'un-' (not) + 'abridged' (shortened), where 'abridge' comes from Old French 'abregier,' from Latin 'abbreviare' meaning 'to shorten.' The concept developed with printing technology when publishers began creating shorter versions of long works.
Kelly Says
Unabridged dictionaries and books represent a commitment to completeness that's increasingly rare in our age of summaries and highlights. The term gained particular importance with dictionaries like Webster's Unabridged, which became symbols of comprehensive knowledge and authority.
