unrefinedadjective

chưa tinh chế

/ˌʌnrɪˈfaɪnd//ˌʌnrɪˈfaɪnd/

"Unrefined" is a combination of the prefix "un-" meaning "not" and the adjective "refined." "Refined" comes from the Old French word "refiner," meaning "to purify." This, in turn, derives from the Latin "reficere," meaning "to make again." Therefore, "unrefined" originally signified something that was "not made again," or not purified or processed to a higher standard. It can also mean something that lacks polish or sophistication, or is natural and unprocessed.
