Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unrelaxed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "relaxed" (from Latin "relaxare", meaning to loosen or make less tense). The word "unrelaxed" means not loosened or not at ease.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'loosened' ('relaxed') — that's why unrelaxed means not at ease.
