Root Explanation

**Unafraid** → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "afraid" (from Old English *afræd*, meaning frightened or fearful). The word "unafraid" means not feeling fear or being free from fear.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') feeling 'frightened' ('afræd') — that's why unafraid means not feeling fear.
