Root Explanation

Uncharted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "charted" (from the Old French *charte*, meaning a map or document). The word "uncharted" refers to areas that are not mapped or documented, indicating unknown territory.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'map' ('charted') — that's why uncharted means an area without a map.
