Root Explanation

Unblemished → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "blemish" (from Old French *blemir*, meaning to make dim or tarnished). The word "unblemished" means not having any blemishes or imperfections, indicating purity or flawlessness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'blemishes' — that's why unblemished means completely flawless.
