Root Explanation

Unearthliness → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "earthly" (from Old English "eorþe", meaning of the earth). The word "unearthliness" refers to something that is not of this earth or has a supernatural quality.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'earthly' to remember that 'unearthliness' describes something that is beyond the earthly realm.
