Root Explanation

Unpriced → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "priced" (from the root "price" which comes from Old French *priz*, meaning value or worth). The word "unpriced" means not having a price or value assigned to it.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'value' ('price') assigned — that's why unpriced means something that does not have a price.
