Uncompressed refers to a file, data, or information that has not been subjected to any form of compression. In computing, compression is the process of reducing the size of a file by encoding the data using algorithms that eliminate redundancy and unnecessary information. Uncompressed data, on the other hand, is the original, unaltered form of the information without any reduction in size.
Typically, when data undergoes compression, it is transformed into a more compact representation, which allows for efficient storage and transmission. However, when data is uncompressed, it is restored to its original size and format, making it ready for use by applications or end-users.
Uncompressed files or data can consume more storage space compared to their compressed counterparts. Additionally, they may require higher bandwidth and longer transfer times when being transmitted over networks. Nonetheless, their advantage lies in the fact that they can be accessed and utilized directly without any need for decompression or extraction processes.
Uncompressed data is often used in multimedia applications, such as audio, video, and image processing, where preserving the highest quality and fidelity is crucial. It allows for lossless storage and transmission of media, maintaining all the original details and ensuring minimal degradation in quality.
In summary, the term "uncompressed" refers to data or files that are in their original, uncompressed state, without any reduction in size or alteration through compression techniques.

Etymological and pronouncing dictionary of the English language. By Stormonth, James, Phelp, P. H. Published 1874.
The word "uncompressed" is formed by combining the prefix "un-" and the root word "compressed".
The prefix "un-" is derived from Old English and is used to negate or reverse the meaning of a word. In this case, it indicates the opposite of compression.
The root word "compressed" originates from the Latin word "compressus", the past participle of "comprimere", which means "to press together". "Com-" means "together" or "with" while "primere" means "to press".
Therefore, the word "uncompressed" essentially means "not pressed together" or "not subjected to compression".
