Root Explanation

Unhealthiest → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "healthy" (from Old English "halig", meaning whole or sound) and the suffix "-est" (indicating the superlative form). The word "unhealthiest" means the state of being the most unhealthy or not sound at all.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'healthy' — this helps you remember that 'unhealthiest' refers to the most unhealthy state.
