Hmm. I think it might need some more work. I mean, there's a strong argument that unprestigious is not a word, but if it was, that certainly would not be the meaning.

- kazinator 5y agoThere is only poor, easily dismissable argument that unprestigious is not a word. The un- prefix is a highly productive morpheme English; dictionaries would only waste space by listing every possible un- word.
- saghm 5y agoI'm not sure why, but "non-prestigious" feels more "correct" to me. I know that those prefixes aren't identical in meaning though, so both could be words with slightly different meanings.
