Yeah, I get that vibe too, but it’s hard to talk about those things.

Root Explanation

Unexpressed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "expressed" (from Latin "exprimere", meaning to press out or to express). The word "unexpressed" means not expressed or not conveyed in words or form.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') conveying something that is 'pressed out' or 'expressed' — that's why unexpressed means something that hasn't been communicated.
