Root Explanation

Unitard → It is formed from "uni-" (meaning one) and "tard" (from the word "tights" or "leotard", referring to a close-fitting garment). The word "unitard" describes a single piece of clothing that combines a top and bottom into one garment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'one' ('uni-') piece of clothing that fits closely like tights — that's what a unitard is.
