I feel like I've got so many dreams that remain unachieved.

Root Explanation

Unachieved → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "achieve" (from Old French *achever*, meaning to complete or bring to a conclusion). The word "unachieved" means not having been completed or brought to a conclusion.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'completed' something ('achieve') — that's why unachieved means something that hasn't been completed.
