Root Explanation

Unalienated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "alienare" (from Latin, meaning to make a stranger or to alienate). The word "unalienated" means not made a stranger or not estranged, indicating a state of connection or belonging.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'alienated' which means made a stranger. This helps you remember that 'unalienated' refers to a state of being connected or not estranged.
