Root Explanation

Unmemorable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "memorable" (from Latin "memorabilis", meaning worthy of being remembered). The word "unmemorable" means not worthy of being remembered or forgettable.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to something that is 'worthy of being remembered' ('memorabilis'). This helps you remember that 'unmemorable' describes something that is forgettable.
