Unlovedunloved means nobody loves this person or thing意思是沒有人愛這個人或這樣東西。
Used of people, it is one of the sadder words in English — an unloved child, someone who died unloved and alone. It describes not what the person does but what they do not receive, and that is exactly why it hurts: it is a lack, and the person is not to blame for it. It appears constantly in psychology and in ordinary emotional talk — 'she grew up feeling unloved' — and that phrase 'feel unloved' is probably the most common way you will meet it, because the word so often describes a feeling rather than a proven fact.
