Root Explanation
Unlashed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "lashed" (from Old English "lasian", meaning to bind or tie). The word "unlashed" means not bound or tied, indicating something that has been released or set free.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') being applied to something that is 'tied' ('lashed'). This helps you remember that 'unlashed' means something that is no longer tied or bound.
