Root Explanation

Unreported → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "report" (from Latin "reportare", meaning to carry back or bring back). The word "unreported" means not carried back or not brought back, indicating something that has not been reported.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') bringing back information ('report') — that's why unreported means something that hasn't been reported.
