Root Explanation

Uncorrupt → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "corrupt" (from Latin "corruptus", meaning broken or spoiled). The word "uncorrupt" means not broken or spoiled, implying integrity or purity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'broken' or 'spoiled' ('corrupt') — that's why uncorrupt means something that is whole and pure.
