Root Explanation

Undissolved → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "dissolved" (from Latin "dissolvere", meaning to loosen or dissolve). The word "undissolved" means not having been loosened or dissolved, indicating that something remains intact or whole.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'loosened' or 'dissolved' — that's why undissolved means something that hasn't broken down.
