Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unchoreographed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "choreographed" (from Greek "choreia" meaning dance and "grapho" meaning to write). The word means not arranged or written out in a dance form.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'dance' ('choreia') that is 'written' ('grapho') — that's why unchoreographed means not arranged in a dance.
