Conversation

I noticed some points in the report are still unclarified.

Yeah, I saw that too; it makes the whole thing confusing.

We should probably ask for more details to clear up the unclarified parts.

Good idea! I'll send an email to get those answers.

Root Explanation

Unclarified → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "clarified" (from Latin "clarificare", meaning to make clear). The word "unclarified" means not made clear or not explained.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') making something 'clear' ('clarified') — that's why unclarified means something that hasn't been made clear.
