Root Explanation

Unequalled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "equal" (from Latin "aequalis", meaning equal) and the suffix "-led" (indicating a past participle). The word "unequalled" means not equal or unmatched in quality or degree.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'equal' to remember that 'unequalled' means something that is unmatched or superior.
