Pronunciation: [ˌʌndɪfɹˈe͡ɪd] (IPA) 
The word "undefrayed" is spelled with the prefix "un-" which means "not", followed by the word "defrayed" which means "paid for". The correct pronunciation of this word is [ʌn-dɪˈfreɪd], with the stress on the second syllable. The "d" sound is followed by a short "i" sound, and the stress is on the "eɪ" sound at the end. This word is commonly used to describe expenses that have not been paid for or covered by any means.
The term "undefrayed" refers to something that has not been covered or paid for by someone else. It is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" which means "not," and the verb "defray" which means to pay or bear the cost of something.
When an expense, obligation, or liability remains undefrayed, it means that it has not been settled or taken care of by anyone. This could pertain to various aspects of personal or financial matters, such as outstanding debts, bills, fees, or any financial responsibilities that have not been shouldered or fulfilled. In this context, the term "undefrayed" emphasizes the lack of financial support or assistance in covering or meeting these financial obligations.
The term can also be used more generally to refer to anything that has not been subsidized or supported by an external source. It may describe a project, initiative, or endeavor that has not received funding or sponsorship, leaving the cost and responsibility solely on the individual or entity undertaking it.
Overall, "undefrayed" highlights the absence of financial backing or support, signifying that the burden of payment or responsibility lies solely with the party concerned.
Not defrayed or paid.

The word "undefrayed" is derived from the combination of the prefix "un-" and the verb "defray".
The term "defray" originated from the Old French word "deffroier", which meant "to pay costs or expenses". This Old French term ultimately came from the Latin word "disfridare", where "dis-" meant "away" and "fridus" meant "cold" or "expense". The idea behind the Latin term was that expenses or debts would "cool down" or be "cooled off" by being paid off.
By adding the prefix "un-" to "defray", the word "undefrayed" is formed. The prefix "un-" negates or reverses the meaning of the base word, so "undefrayed" means "not paid for" or "not covered" in terms of expenses or costs.
