What is the meaning of unabridged?

"Unabridged" means complete and without anything removed or shortened. It's often used to describe books, dictionaries, or other works that haven't been edited or condensed in any way.

Here are some examples of how it's used:

* Unabridged dictionary: A dictionary that contains all the words and definitions, as opposed to an abridged dictionary which may only have a limited selection.

* Unabridged novel: The full, original version of a novel, not a shortened or adapted version.

* Unabridged audio recording: A recording of a book or other work that includes all the content without any parts being omitted.

The opposite of unabridged is abridged, which means shortened or condensed.
