I tried to convince him to join us for the trip, but he seemed unpersuaded.

Root Explanation

Unpersuaded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "persuade" (from Latin "persuadere", meaning to convince or persuade). The word "unpersuaded" means not convinced or not having been persuaded.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'persuade', which means to convince someone. This helps you remember that 'unpersuaded' means someone who has not been convinced.
