Root Explanation

Unfrivolous → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "frivolous" (from Latin "frivolus", meaning worthless or trivial). The word "unfrivolous" means not trivial or serious in nature.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'worthless' ('frivolus') — this helps you remember that unfrivolous means something that is serious or not trivial.
