Root Explanation

Unclarity → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "clarity" (from Latin "claritas", meaning brightness or clearness). The word "unclarity" means the state of not being clear or the absence of clarity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'clearness' ('clarity') — this helps you remember that unclarity means a lack of clarity.
