Root Explanation

Injustice → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "justitia" (from Latin, meaning justice). The word "injustice" refers to the absence or negation of justice.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') having 'justice' ('justitia') — that's why injustice means the lack of fairness or justice.
