Root Explanation

Undamaged → It is formed from the prefix "un-" (meaning not) and the root "damaged" (from Old French *damager*, meaning to cause harm or injury). The word "undamaged" means not harmed or injured.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') causing 'harm' ('damaged') — that's why undamaged means something that has not been harmed.
