Root Explanation

Unemotionally → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "emotional" (from Latin "emotio" meaning a movement or stirring of feelings). The word "unemotionally" means not showing or expressing emotions.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') showing feelings or 'stirrings' ('emotio') — that's why unemotionally means to act without emotional expression.
