uncomfortable

== English == === Etymology === From un- +‎ comfortable. === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ʌnˈkʌmf.tə.bl̩/, /ʌnˈkʌm.fə.tə.bl̩/ (General American) IPA(key): /ʌnˈkʌm.fɚ.tə.bl̩/, /ʌnˈkʌmf.tɚ.bl̩/ === Adjective === uncomfortable (comparative more uncomfortable, superlative most uncomfortable) Not comfortable; causing discomfort. Experiencing discomfort. Uneasy or anxious. Put off or disgusted. ==== Usage notes ==== Although the word uncomfortable looks (etymonically) like one of its senses could be synonymous with inconsolable, it does not have that sense; the absence of that sense is simply a lexical gap. In parallel, the same is true of comfortable and consolable, as well as comfortability and consolability. ==== Synonyms ==== ill at ease ==== Antonyms ==== comfortable ergonomic ==== Derived terms ==== uncomfortableness uncomfortably ==== Translations ====
