unsewn (masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Adjective, nominative masculine singular (Gr,NP,,,,NMS); describing a masculine singular noun and functioning attributively. |
| Rendering Rationale | The term combines the negative prefix ἀ- with a root related to sewing or stitching, yielding the sense "not sewn." The rendering "unsewn" preserves this root meaning, and the note "masculine singular" reflects its nominative masculine singular form, agreeing with a masculine noun such as "garment." |
