Root Explanation

Unfading → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "fading" (from Old English "fadian", meaning to lose brightness or color). The word "unfading" means not losing brightness or color, suggesting permanence or lasting quality.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') losing brightness or color ('fading') — that's why unfading means something that remains bright and vibrant.
