Root Explanation

Unpolluted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "polluted" (from Latin "polluere", meaning to soil or defile). The word "unpolluted" means not having been soiled or defiled, indicating purity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'soiled' ('polluted') — this helps you remember that unpolluted means something that is pure and clean.
