Etymology

**inachevé** (noun) – “unfinished thing” It comes from the adjective *inachevé*, itself formed with the negation prefix *in-* plus the past participle of the verb *achever* (“to finish”). *Achever* is an Old French form that traces back to Latin *ad‑capere* (“to reach, to bring to an end”). Thus *inachevé* literally means “not yet finished,” a construction that has been in use since the 15th century.
