Did you hear about the kids playing in the park last night?

Yeah, I heard it was pretty chaotic with no one watching them.

Exactly, it feels risky to leave them unmonitored like that.

I agree, some supervision would really help keep things safe.

Root Explanation

Unmonitored → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "monitored" (from Latin "monere", meaning to warn or advise). The word "unmonitored" means not being watched or advised over a period of time.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being 'watched' or 'advised' ('monere') — that's why unmonitored means something is not being overseen.
