Root Explanation

Unacted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "acted" (from the Latin "agere", meaning to do or perform). The word "unacted" means not having been done or performed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'done' something ('acted') — that's why unacted means something that has not been performed.
