Root Explanation

Unnoticeable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "notice" (from Latin "notitia", meaning knowledge or awareness) and "-able" (meaning capable of). The word "unnoticeable" means not capable of being noticed or recognized.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'knowledge' ('notice') to remember that 'unnoticeable' means something that cannot be recognized or seen.
