Conversation

I feel like there are some unreconciled issues between us.

Yeah, I've noticed that too, but I'm not sure how to bring them up.

Maybe we should just talk it out and clear the air.

That sounds good; I think we can resolve those unreconciled feelings.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unreconciled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "reconciled" (from Latin "reconciliare", meaning to bring together again). The word "unreconciled" means not brought together again or not resolved.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'brought together again' ('reconciled') — that's why unreconciled means something that hasn't been resolved.
