The word "undomestic" is derived from the prefix "un-" and the base word "domestic".
The prefix "un-" is a common English prefix that indicates the opposite or negation of a word. In this case, "un-" is used to negate the meaning of "domestic".
The base word "domestic" comes from the Latin word "domesticus", which means "belonging to the household" or "pertaining to home". In English, "domestic" has come to mean "relating to the home, family, or household affairs".
By adding the prefix "un-" to "domestic", the meaning changes to indicate the opposite of being related to the home or domestic affairs. Thus, "undomestic" refers to something that is not domestic, not belonging to the home, or not pertaining to household matters.
