Root Explanation

Uncomplainingly → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "complaining" (from Latin "complainere", meaning to express dissatisfaction), and "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word describes the manner of not expressing dissatisfaction or complaints.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') expressing dissatisfaction ('complaining') — that's why uncomplainingly means doing something without complaints.
