Root Explanation

Undirected → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "direct" (from Latin "directus", meaning straight or guided). The word "undirected" means not guided or lacking direction.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('un-') 'guided' ('direct') — that's why undirected means lacking guidance.
