Root Explanation

Nonambiguous → It is formed from "non-" (meaning not) and "ambiguus" (from Latin, meaning uncertain or having multiple meanings). The word "nonambiguous" means not having multiple meanings or being clear and definite.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('non-') being added to 'uncertain' ('ambiguus') — this helps you remember that nonambiguous means something that is clear and definite.
