Root Explanation

Unbonded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "bonded" (from the root "bond" which comes from Old English "bonda", meaning a peasant or farmer, and the verb "bindan", meaning to bind). The word "unbonded" means not bound or not tied together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'bound' — this helps you remember that 'unbonded' means something that is not tied or connected.
