Root Explanation

Unmodulated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "modulatus" (from Latin, meaning measured or adjusted). The word "unmodulated" means not measured or adjusted, indicating a lack of variation or control in tone or frequency.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'measured' ('modulatus') changes — that's why unmodulated means lacking variation.
