I overheard some people at the café talking about politics, but they sounded really uninformed.

Yeah, it’s surprising how many opinions people have without knowing the facts.

Root Explanation

Uninformed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "informed" (from Latin "informare", meaning to shape or form). The word "uninformed" means not shaped or formed by knowledge, indicating a lack of information.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'knowledge' ('informed') — that's why uninformed means lacking knowledge.
