Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Uninvolved → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "involved" (from Latin "involvere", meaning to roll in or envelop). The word "uninvolved" means not rolled in or not engaged in a situation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'involved', which means to be engaged. So, uninvolved means not engaged in something.
