Root Explanation

Unattenuated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "attenuare" (from Latin, meaning to make thin or weaken). The word "unattenuated" means not made thin or weakened, retaining its original strength or intensity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') making something 'weaker' ('attenuare') — that's why unattenuated means something that has not been weakened.
