Root Explanation

Uninspired → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "inspired" (from Latin "inspirare", meaning to breathe into or to infuse with a spirit). The word "uninspired" means not infused with creativity or enthusiasm, lacking inspiration.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'inspired', which means to be filled with creativity or spirit. This helps you remember that 'uninspired' describes a lack of that creative spark.
