Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Uncorseted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "corset" (from Old French *corset*, meaning a fitted undergarment). The word "uncorseted" means not wearing a corset or free from the constraints of a corset.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'not' ('un-') in a 'fitted undergarment' ('corset') — that's why uncorseted means free from wearing a corset.
