覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
まず compensate / compensation を知っていると一気に楽です。compensate は「埋め合わせる・補償する」、そこに un- が付いて「補償されていない」。unhappy, unknown の un- と同じ否定なので、形を見て意味を戻せます。unpaid が単に「給料が出ていない」寄りなのに対し、uncompensated は残業・損失・労力・ケア労働などが金銭や見返りで埋め合わされていない感じ。uncompensated overtime, uncompensated care work のような言い方とセットで覚えると定着します。
Start from `compensate` or `compensation`, which are about making up for loss, work, or effort. Add `un-`, and the meaning becomes easy to rebuild: not compensated. This word often appears in serious phrases like `uncompensated overtime` or `uncompensated care work`. That makes it feel broader and heavier than just `unpaid`.
例文

無補償の仕事はしばしば無給労働です。
Uncompensated employees should receive fair pay.
無補償の従業員は公正な給与を受けるべきです。
Uncompensated time off affects worker morale.
無補償の休み時間は労働者のモラルに影響を与えます。

uncompensated の語源・成り立ち Etymology
uncompensated は un-「ない」+ compensate「埋め合わせる」+ -ed です。compensate はラテン語 compensare「一緒に重さを量って釣り合わせる」に由来し、「差を埋める」が原義なので、uncompensated は「埋め合わせされていない」。関連語は compensation, pendulum。
Uncompensated is built from un- and compensated. Compensate comes from Latin compensare, meaning "to weigh together" or "to balance," so its early sense was about making things even. From that idea, uncompensated developed the meaning of "not balanced out" or "not paid back." Related words include compensation.
