Root Explanation
Unbandaged → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "bandaged" (from the root "bandage" which comes from Old French *bandage*, meaning to bind or wrap). The word "unbandaged" means not bound or wrapped, typically referring to a wound that is not covered with a bandage.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'bound' or 'wrapped' ('bandaged') — that's why unbandaged means a wound that is not wrapped.
