Root Explanation

Uncommitted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "committed" (from Latin "committere", meaning to entrust or to commit). The word "uncommitted" means not having made a commitment or not being bound to a particular course of action.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being attached to 'entrusting' or 'committing' — that's why uncommitted means not having made a commitment.
