## AI Etymology
Undischarged is from un- ('not') + discharged, past participle of discharge, from Old French deschargier ('to unload'), from des- ('un-') + chargier ('to load'), from Late Latin carricare ('to load a wagon'), from carrus ('wagon'). Important recorded forms include un- (Old English), deschargier (Old French), carricare (Latin), and carrus (Latin). Morphologically, the un- element marks negation, reversal, removal, or deprivation, while the base supplies the action, quality, or state being denied or undone. The modern sense is largely compositional, with the historical elements narrowing into a stable English lexical item. In current use it covers not paid off, released, or carried out; still outstanding. The wider family includes related words such as discharge.
