Conversation

I’m really confused about the math homework we got.

Me too! I think we need to find a way to unconfuse ourselves.

Root Explanation

Unconfuse → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "confuse" (from Latin "confundere", meaning to mix together or to confuse). The word "unconfuse" means to make something clear or to remove confusion, essentially meaning to not mix things up.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') mixing things together ('confundere') — that's why unconfuse means to clarify or make clear.
