Root Explanation

Uncolored → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "colored" (from the root "color" which comes from Latin "color", meaning hue or tint). The word "uncolored" means not having any color or hue.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'hue' or 'tint' ('color') — that's why uncolored means lacking color.
