Definition

Not officially stated or announced; something that has not been declared or made known.

Example

She is an undeclared major, meaning she hasn't chosen a specific field of study yet.

Conversation

Are you still thinking about what to major in, or have you decided yet?

I'm still undeclared for now, trying to explore my options.

That makes sense; it’s a big decision after all.

Yeah, I just want to make sure I choose the right path.

Root Explanation

Undeclared → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "declare" (from Latin "declarare", meaning to make clear or announce). The word "undeclared" means not announced or made clear.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') making something 'clear' or 'announced' ('declare') — that's why undeclared means something that hasn't been made clear.
