Conversation

Have you seen the ice cream? It's still unmelted after sitting out for a while.

Yeah, I noticed that too! It was really cold outside.

I thought it would melt faster, especially in this heat.

Me too! It’s nice to have some unmelted ice cream for a change.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unmelted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "melted" (from Old English "meltan", meaning to soften or dissolve). The word "unmelted" means not having been softened or dissolved.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'melted' — so unmelted refers to something that has not been softened or dissolved.
