Awaiting something is a state of anticipation, where one is expecting something to happen. The term can be broken down into four words: OVER, UNLIT, UNLET, and PACER. OVER is a preposition that means above or higher than something else. UNLIT is an adjective that describes something that has not been lit, such as a candle or a lightbulb. Unlet is an adjective that describes something that has not been rented or leased. Finally, PACER is a noun that refers to a person or animal that sets the pace for others. Together, these words describe the feeling of anticipation that comes with waiting for something to happen.
