Root Explanation

Unquestioned → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "question" (from Latin "quaestio", meaning inquiry or investigation) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past participle). The word "unquestioned" means not subject to inquiry or doubt, implying certainty or acceptance without challenge.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') allowing something to be accepted without 'inquiry' ('question') — that's why unchallenged beliefs are considered unquestioned.
