Root Explanation

Ungodliest → It is formed from the prefix 'un-' (meaning not) and 'godly' (from Old English 'godlic', meaning divine or godlike) and the suffix '-est' (indicating the superlative degree). The word 'ungodliest' means the most not divine or the least godlike.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not divine' ('un-') and 'godlike' ('godly') to remember that 'ungodliest' refers to something that is the least godlike.
