Root Explanation

Unornamented → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "ornamented" (from Latin "ornamentum", meaning decoration). The word "unornamented" means not decorated or lacking adornment.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'decoration' ('ornamented') — that's why unornamented means lacking decoration.
