Root Explanation

Unawakened → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "awakened" (from Old English "awacan", meaning to rise or become awake). The word "unawakened" means not having been awakened or not yet awake.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'awakened', which means to rise or become awake. This helps you remember that 'unawakened' refers to someone or something that has not yet become awake.
