Root Explanation

Unaggressive → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "aggressive" (from Latin "aggressivus", meaning inclined to attack). The word "unaggressive" means not inclined to attack or show aggression.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'inclined to attack' ('aggressive') — that's why unaggressive means not showing aggression.
