Root Explanation

Unmarred → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "marred" (from Old English "mearcian", meaning to mark or damage). The word "unmarred" means not marked or damaged, indicating something that is pristine or flawless.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'marked' or 'damaged' ('mearcian') — that's why unmarred means something that is not damaged or marked.
