Root Explanation

Uninspected → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "inspect" (from Latin "inspectare", meaning to look into or examine). The word "uninspected" means not having been looked into or examined.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'looked into' ('inspect') — that's why uninspected means something that hasn't been examined.
