Root Explanation

Unadorned → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "adorned" (from Latin "adornare", meaning to equip or decorate). The word "unadorned" means not decorated or equipped, referring to something plain or simple.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'decoration' ('adorned') — that's why unadorned means plain or simple.
