Root Explanation

Uninformative → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "informative" (from Latin "informare", meaning to shape or form an idea). The word "uninformative" means not providing useful information or lacking in informative content.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') providing useful 'shaping of ideas' ('informative') — that's why uninformed means lacking useful information.
