Definition

1. Adjective:
   • Not having been converted into vapor: "unevaporated" describes a substance, typically a liquid, that has not undergone the process of evaporation, meaning it remains in its original liquid state without any part of it turning into gas.

Usage Examples

• (The water remained in liquid form because it had not turned into vapor.)
• (The substance that did not evaporate was examined.)
• (The fuel that had not changed into gas remained in liquid form.)

Advanced Usage

• "unevaporated liquid": a precise term used in scientific contexts to refer to liquid that remains after evaporation has occurred elsewhere.

  • The unevaporated liquid at the bottom of the flask was carefully measured. (The liquid that did not turn into gas was quantified.)

• "unevaporated solvent": in chemistry, the solvent that remains in a solution after some of it has been removed by evaporation.

  • The unevaporated solvent contained the dissolved compound. (The solvent that had not become vapor still held the substance.)

Variants and Related Words
