Root Explanation

Uninterrupted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "interrumpere" (from Latin, meaning to break between). The word "uninterrupted" means not broken between, indicating a continuous flow without breaks.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not' ('un-') 'broken between' ('interrumpere') — that's why uninterrupted means a continuous flow without interruptions.
