uncompensated

補償されていない
解説 Definition
損失、労働、時間、けがなどに対して、金銭や見返りによる埋め合わせが与えられていない状態を表します。法律・労働・医療費などの文脈で、受けるべき補償や支払いがないことをやや硬く言う語です。
If something is uncompensated, no money or other return is given for a loss, injury, effort, or time spent. The word is often used in legal, work, and medical contexts when someone does not receive the payment or support they should normally get. It sounds more formal than unpaid and can describe many kinds of burdens, not only wages.
覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
compensate は「補償する、埋め合わせる」、compensation は「補償」です。そこに unknown や unpaid と同じ否定の un- が付き、uncompensated は「補償されていない」と分解できます。unpaid は主に賃金が払われないことに寄りますが、uncompensated は残業、損失、医療、介護など、何かの負担が金銭や見返りで埋め合わされない場面に広く使われます。
Think of compensate as "to make up for something" and compensation as the money or benefit you get in return. Add the negative prefix un-, like in unknown or unpaid, and uncompensated becomes "not made up for" or "not compensated." Unlike unpaid, which often focuses on wages, uncompensated is wider and can describe unpaid overtime, losses, medical costs, or care work.

このエントリの「無補償」は、一般的な「補償されていない」という形容詞訳とは別に、制度・契約・医療費などで使われる名詞的で硬い訳語として覚えると整理しやすいです。compensation は「補償」、uncompensated はその否定なので、補償金や見返りが付かない扱いを指します。日常会話より、uncompensated care や uncompensated services のような行政・労務寄りの表現で出やすい特殊な訳です。
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
Uncompensated work is often unpaid labor.
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
un-「ない」+ compensated「補償された」から成ります。compensate はラテン語 compensare「釣り合わせる」に由来し、不足や損失を埋め合わせる発想が中心です。
Uncompensated is made from un-, meaning "not," and compensated, meaning "paid back" or "made up for." Compensate comes from Latin compensare, meaning "to weigh against" or "to balance," which later developed the idea of making up for a loss or lack.
