Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unpeopled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "people" (from Old English "pēople", meaning human beings or a group of individuals). The word "unpeopled" means not inhabited or devoid of people.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'people' around — that's why unpeopled means an area without people.
