Conversation

I heard that the new champion is completely unchallenged this season.

Yeah, it seems like no one can keep up with him at all.

It's kind of boring to watch when there's no competition; he feels so unchallenged.

I agree, a little rivalry would definitely spice things up!

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unchallenged → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "challenged" (from Old French *chalenge*, meaning to accuse or dispute). The word "unchallenged" means not being accused or disputed, indicating a state of being accepted without opposition.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'challenged' — this helps you remember that 'unchallenged' means something that is accepted without any dispute.
