Have you seen the address for that new café?

No, I think it's uncoded, so we need to look it up online.

Probably quite a few, especially in newer neighborhoods.

Root Explanation

Uncoded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "coded" (from the root "code" which comes from Latin "codex", meaning a book or a system of symbols). The word "uncoded" means not encoded or not transformed into a code.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'coded', which means it hasn't been transformed into a system of symbols.
