Root Explanation

Unmatched → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "matched" (from the root "match" which comes from Old English "macian", meaning to make or to fit). The word "unmatched" means not matched or not equal to anything else in quality or status.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'fitting together' ('match') — that's why unmatched means something that does not fit with or equal anything else.
