unexited
un-eg-ZY-tid
Definition
Referring to investment assets or holdings in companies that have not yet undergone a liquidity event, such as an initial public offering (IPO) or an acquisition, which would allow the investor to sell their stake for a return.
Etymology
The word is a modern financial compound consisting of the prefix 'un-' (meaning 'not') and 'exited,' derived from the Latin 'exitus' (a going out or departure). It evolved in business contexts to describe the status of venture capital investments before they are liquidated.
