Conversation

I heard that the old library is still unreformed after all these years.

Really? I thought they would have updated it by now.

Yeah, it's surprising how some places just stay the same and remain unreformed.

Maybe they prefer keeping the old charm, but it could use some modern touches.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unreformed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "reformed" (from Latin "reformare", meaning to form again or reshape). The word "unreformed" means not reshaped or not changed from its original state.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having been 'reshaped' ('reformed') — that's why unreformed means something that has not been changed.
