Root Explanation

Immethodical → It is formed from "im-" (meaning not) and "methodical" (from Greek "methodos", meaning a way or path). The word "immethodical" means not following a method or organized approach.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('im-') following a 'way' or 'path' ('methodos') — that's why immethodical means lacking organization.
