Root Explanation

Unequivocally → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "equivocal" (from Latin "aequivocus", meaning having equal voice or ambiguous), and "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word means in a manner that is not ambiguous or open to multiple interpretations.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'ambiguous' ('equivocal'), which helps you remember that 'unequivocally' means something is stated clearly and without doubt.
