Root Explanation

Unmanipulated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not), "manipulate" (from Latin "manipulare", meaning to handle or control), and "-ed" (a suffix indicating past tense or a state). The word "unmanipulated" means not handled or controlled, indicating something that has not been altered or influenced.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being applied to something that has been 'handled' ('manipulate') — so unmanipulated means it hasn't been changed or controlled.
