Root Explanation

Uncanceled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "canceled" (from Latin "cancellare", meaning to cross out or annul). The word "uncanceled" means not crossed out or annulled, indicating that something remains valid or in effect.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') crossing out or annulling something ('canceled') — that's why uncanceled means it remains valid.
