Conversation

I found a coupon for that new restaurant, but it's still unredeemed.

That's cool! When are you planning to use it?

I was thinking of going this weekend, but I'm not sure if I can make it.

You should definitely go! Don't let the coupon stay unredeemed.

Root Explanation

Unredeemed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "redeem" (from Latin "redimere", meaning to buy back or recover). The word "unredeemed" means not having been bought back or recovered, often referring to something that remains in its original state without restoration or salvation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'bought back' ('redeem') — that's why unredeemed means something that hasn't been recovered or restored.
