Root Explanation

Unblinded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "blinded" (from the root "blind" which comes from Old English "blinda", meaning unable to see). The word "unblinded" means not blinded or having regained the ability to see.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'blind' — this helps you remember that 'unblinded' means someone who is not blind or has regained sight.
