Root Explanation

Unconsidered → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "consider" (from Latin "considerare", meaning to think about or reflect upon). The word "unconsidered" means not thought about or not taken into account.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') thinking about something ('consider') — that's why unconsidered means something that hasn't been thought about.
