Have you seen that tree in the park?

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

This word originates from Old English, where 'un-' means not and 'ax' refers to an axe. Therefore, 'unaxed' means not having been cut or chopped with an axe.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'cut' ('ax') — that's why 'unaxed' means not cut with an axe.
