Root Explanation

Unmitigatedly → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "mitigated" (from Latin "mitigare", meaning to soften or lessen) and the suffix "-ly" (meaning in a manner). The word means in a manner that is not softened or lessened, indicating something that is absolute or complete.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') softening or lessening something ('mitigated') — that's why unmitigatedly means something is absolute or complete.
