Root Explanation

Unblinkered → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "blinkered" (from the verb "blinker", which refers to the act of limiting one's view or perspective, derived from the noun "blinker" meaning a device that restricts vision, originally from the word "blinc", meaning to close the eyes briefly). The word "unblinkered" means not having a restricted view or perspective, implying openness to different ideas or opinions.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'restricted view' ('blinkered') — this helps you remember that 'unblinkered' means having an open perspective.
