Did you see how we made that last-minute decision to go to the concert?

Yeah, it was totally uncalculated, but so much fun!

Root Explanation

Uncalculated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "calculated" (from Latin "calculare", meaning to count or compute). The word "uncalculated" means not counted or not computed, indicating something that has not been measured or assessed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') counting or 'computing' ('calculare') something — that's why uncalculated means something that hasn't been measured.
