Root Explanation

Uncage → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not or opposite of) and "cage" (from Old French *cage*, meaning a structure for confining animals). The word "uncage" means to remove from confinement or to set free from a cage.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' or 'opposite of' ('un-') and a 'structure for confining' ('cage') — that's why uncage means to set free from confinement.
