Root Explanation

Unblended → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "blended" (from the root "blend" which comes from Old English "blendan", meaning to mix). The word "unblended" means not mixed or combined with other substances.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') mixed together ('blended') — that's why unblended means something that is not mixed.
