Root Explanation

Unaired → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "aired" (from Old English "ærnan", meaning to flow or to be broadcast). The word "unaired" means not having been broadcast or not having been shown publicly.

Memory Tip

Think of something that has not been 'aired' or shown to the public — 'un-' means not, and 'aired' relates to being broadcast.
