Root Explanation

Unequivocal → It is formed from "uni-" (meaning one) and "equivocal" (from Latin "aequivocus", meaning having the same voice or meaning). The word "unequivocal" means having one clear meaning, without ambiguity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'one' ('uni-') clear meaning — that's why 'unequivocal' means something that is not open to multiple interpretations.
