different between unexpurgated vs unabridged

unexpurgated (not comparable)

Not expurgated, not having had anything objectionable removed
- 1897, W.S. Maugham, Lisa of Lambeth, chapter 1
  Suddenly she stopped short, and disengaged herself from her companion.
  'Oh, I sy,' she said, 'this is too bloomin' slow; it gives me the sick.'
  That is not precisely what she said, but it is impossible always to give the exact unexpurgated words of Liza and the other personages of the story, the reader is therefore entreated with his thoughts to piece out the necessary imperfections of the dialogue.

From un- +? abridged.

Synonyms: uncensored, uncondensed, unexpurgated

Coordinate term: unedited

unabridged (plural unabridgeds)

An unabridged publication, especially a reference work
- 1975, William Morris, It's Easy to Increase Your Vocabulary
  it would seem to indicate that arcane's restoration to general usage is fairly recent and we may expect that it will move from the comparative obscurity of the unabridgeds to proper listing in general use
