Root Explanation

Unparted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "parted" (from the root "part" which comes from Old French *partir*, meaning to divide or separate). The word "unparted" means not divided or separated.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'divided' ('parted') — that's why unparted means something that remains whole or together.
