Root Explanation

Unisexual → It is formed from "uni-" (meaning one) and "sexual" (from Latin "sexus", meaning sex or gender). The word "unisexual" refers to having only one sex or gender.

Memory Tip

Think of 'one' ('uni-') related to 'sex' ('sexual') — that's why unisexual means having only one sex.
