I heard you got that promotion at work, congratulations!

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unenvied → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "envied" (from Old French *envier*, meaning to envy). The word "unenvied" means not being envied or not subject to envy.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'envy' — so unenvied means not being envied.
