Root Explanation

Unmedicated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "medicated" (from Latin "medicatus", meaning treated with medicine). The word "unmedicated" means not treated with medicine or lacking medication.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'treatment' ('medicated') — that's why unmedicated means not treated with medicine.
