Root Explanation

Uncaged → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "cage" (from Old French *cage*, meaning a structure for confining animals). The word "uncaged" means not confined within a cage, suggesting freedom or release.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'cage' — this helps you remember that 'uncaged' means free from confinement.
