Root Explanation

Unbottle → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not or opposite of) and "bottle" (from Old French *boteille*, meaning a container for liquids). The word "unbottle" means to remove something from a bottle or to release something that has been contained.

Memory Tip

Think of 'un-' meaning to reverse or remove, and 'bottle' as a container. This helps you remember that 'unbottle' means to take something out of a container.
