Root Explanation

Unassociated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "associated" (from Latin "associatus", meaning joined together). The word "unassociated" means not joined together or not connected with something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being connected or 'joined' ('associatus') with something — that's why unassociated means not connected.
