Pronunciation: [ʌnklˈɒɡd] (IPA) 
The word "unclogged" is spelled with the prefix "un-" added to the word "clogged". The IPA phonetic transcription of this word is /ʌnklɒɡd/. The "un-" prefix means "not" or "reverse", while "clogged" means something is blocked or obstructed. Together, "unclogged" means to remove the obstruction or to clear a blockage. The double "g" in "clogged" is doubled to maintain the short "o" sound in the middle of the word.
Unclogged refers to the state of being free from blockage or obstruction. It is an adjective that describes a situation or object that is no longer hindered or congested, allowing for the smooth flow or passage of something, such as liquid, air, or information.
When something is unclogged, it means that any impediment or barrier that was present has been removed, cleared, or resolved, resulting in an unhindered and efficient operation. For example, in the context of plumbing, if a drain or pipe is unclogged, it means that any debris, buildup, or blockage that was preventing the proper flow of water or waste has been eliminated, enabling the fluid to pass through smoothly.
Additionally, unclogged can be used metaphorically to describe the restoration of a normal or free-flowing state in non-physical contexts. For instance, if an organization's communication channels are unclogged, it means that any communication barriers or bottlenecks have been resolved, allowing for effective and timely exchange of information among team members or departments.
In conclusion, unclogged denotes the absence of obstruction or blockage, whether in a physical or metaphorical sense, indicating that something is now free to operate with efficiency and fluidity.

The word "unclogged" is derived from the combination of two roots: "un" and "clog".
The prefix "un" in English is typically used to negate or reverse the meaning of a word. In the case of "unclogged", the "un" prefix is used to reverse the action of "clog".
The word "clog" comes from the Middle English word "clogge", which referred to a type of shoe with a thick wooden sole. Over time, "clog" also came to mean an obstruction or blockage that hinders or prevents the flow of something. This sense of "clog" as a blockage is what is relevant to "unclogged".
