Root Explanation

Uninhabited → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "inhabited" (from Latin "inhabitare", meaning to dwell or live in). The word "uninhabited" means not lived in or without inhabitants.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a place to 'live' ('inhabit') — that's why uninhabited means a place where no one lives.
