Root Explanation
Unboundedness → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "bounded" (from the root "bound" which comes from Old French *bondir*, meaning to leap or to limit) and the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state of being). The word "unboundedness" refers to the state of not being limited or restricted.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') being 'limited' ('bounded') — that's why unboundedness means the state of having no limits.
