2) Not named or marked, like an unlabelled diagram. [tree →](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/unlabelled/#m2)

### sense in the lessons

A science, safety and maths word. In science lessons, always label diagrams and axes; an unlabelled graph loses marks. Safety: never drink or taste anything from an unlabelled bottle — it could be poison or bleach. In Alice in Wonderland Alice drinks from a bottle only after checking it is not marked «poison» — it was labelled «DRINK ME».
