Have you heard about the new trend of unbundling services?

Yeah, I read that it can save people money on things they don’t need.

Root Explanation

Unbundling → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not or reverse) and "bundle" (from Old English *bundel*, meaning a collection or package). The word "unbundling" means the process of taking apart or separating items that were previously bundled together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'un-' meaning to reverse or take apart, and 'bundle' referring to a collection. This helps you remember that unbundling means separating items that were once grouped together.
