Root Explanation

Unnamed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "named" (from Old English "nama", meaning name). The word "unnamed" means not having a name or not being identified by a name.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'name' — that's why unnamed means something that does not have a name.
