Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Immaculate is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "maculatus" (from Latin, meaning spotted or stained). The word describes something that is not spotted or stained, hence pure or clean.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('in-') 'spotted' or 'stained' ('maculatus') — that's why immaculate means pure or clean.
