Root Explanation

Unheated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "heated" (from Old English "hǣtan", meaning to make warm or hot). The word "unheated" means not made warm or not hot.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') making something 'warm' ('heated') — that's why unheated means something that is not warm.
