Root Explanation

Unappeased → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "appeased" (from Old French *apaisier*, meaning to calm or pacify). The word "unappeased" means not calmed or pacified, indicating a state of ongoing dissatisfaction or unrest.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'calmed' or 'pacified' ('apaisier') — this helps you remember that unappeased means still feeling upset or restless.
