Root Explanation

Unconquered → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "conquer" (from Latin "conquaerere", meaning to seek or gain). The word "unconquered" means not having been gained or defeated, indicating a state of resistance or survival against conquest.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'gained' or 'defeated' ('conquer') — that's why unconquered means something that remains undefeated.
