Root Explanation

Undiscouraged → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "discourage" (from Old French *descorager*, meaning to dishearten or deter). The word means not being disheartened or deterred from pursuing something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') feeling 'disheartened' ('discourage') — that's why undiscouraged means you keep going without losing heart.
