Conversation

I watched that new fantasy movie last night, but I felt so unenchanted by it.

Really? I heard it was supposed to be magical and exciting.

I guess not every movie can be enchanting, huh?

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unenchanted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "enchanted" (from Old French *enchanter*, meaning to bewitch or cast a spell upon). The word "unenchanted" means not under a spell or not bewitched.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'enchanted', which means to be under a spell. So, unenchanted means not under a spell.
