Did you read my story draft?

Yeah, I did! It’s really good, even though it’s unedited.

Not at all, I think the unedited parts give it character!

Root Explanation

Unedited → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "edited" (from Latin "editus", meaning brought forth or published). The word "unedited" means not brought forth in a final form or not revised for publication.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'brought forth' ('editus') — that's why unedited means something that hasn't been finalized or revised.
