Definition

Not denied or challenged; accepted as true without any disagreement.

Example

The witness's testimony was uncontradicted, making it a strong piece of evidence in the trial.

Conversation

I heard that his story is completely uncontradicted by anyone.

Really? That makes it sound pretty credible.

Yeah, I guess it helps that he has witnesses to back him up.

Definitely, it’s hard to argue against an uncontradicted account like that.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Uncontradicted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "contra-" (meaning against), and "dicere" (meaning to say). The word describes something that has not been said against or disputed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having anything 'said against' ('contra-' and 'dicere') — that's why uncontradicted means something that has no opposition.
