Did you hear about that student who was unadmitted from the program?

Yeah, I heard it was really surprising for everyone.

Root Explanation

Unadmitted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "admittere" (meaning to allow to enter). The word "unadmitted" means not allowed to enter or not accepted.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') allowing someone to 'enter' ('admittere') — that's why unadmitted means not allowed to enter.
