unleaded

The origin and history of unleaded.

Etymology

Formed in English by adding the prefix un- to leaded, giving the sense of petrol or other substances made without lead. In the United States the word also carries a precise technical meaning, since a federal standard defines exactly how much lead unleaded petrol is allowed to contain.
