Root Explanation
Uncursed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "cursed" (from Old English "cursian", meaning to invoke a curse). The word "uncursed" means not affected by a curse or free from a curse.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'cursed' — so uncursed means free from a curse.
