Definition

'Uncarbonated' is another way to say 'noncarbonated.' It means that a liquid does not contain carbon dioxide and therefore lacks fizz. Think regular tap water instead of sparkling water. It has a smooth, still texture. It lacks the slight bite that carbonation adds. It simply hasn't had carbon dioxide added or has lost it.

Etymology

The word 'uncarbonated' is formed by adding the prefix 'un-' (meaning 'not') to 'carbonated.' 'Carbonated' relates to 'carbon,' from the Latin 'carbo' (coal). 'Uncarbonated' therefore means 'not carbonated.' It's a straightforward negation.
