Root Explanation

Unbounded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "bounded" (from Old French *bondir*, meaning to leap or bound). The word "unbounded" means not limited or not confined by boundaries.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'boundaries' ('bounded') — that's why unbounded means limitless.
