Root Explanation

Unambiguous → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "ambiguous" (from Latin "ambiguus", meaning having double meaning or unclear). The word "unambiguous" means not having double meanings or being clear and straightforward.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'double meanings' ('ambiguus') — that's why unambiguous means clear and straightforward.
