Root Explanation

Unchanging → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "changing" (from the root "change" which comes from Old French *changier*, meaning to exchange or alter). The word "unchanging" means not altering or remaining the same.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') changing or altering — that's why unchanging means something that remains the same.
