Root Explanation

Unglove → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not or opposite of) and "glove" (from Old English "glof", meaning a covering for the hand). The word "unglove" means to remove or take off a glove.

Memory Tip

Think of 'un-' meaning not or opposite, and 'glove' as a covering for the hand — so unglove means to take off a covering for the hand.
