Root Explanation
Unrated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "rated" (from the verb "rate", which comes from Old French *rater*, meaning to assess or evaluate). The word "unrated" means not assessed or evaluated.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'rating' — that's why unrated means something that hasn't been assessed.
