Root Explanation

Unconcerned → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "concerned" (from Latin "concernere", meaning to relate or to involve). The word "unconcerned" means not involved or not worried about something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'involved' or 'worried' ('concerned') — that's why unconcerned means not worried or not involved.
