Root Explanation

Unreserved → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "reserved" (from Latin "reservare", meaning to keep back or hold). The word "unreserved" means not held back or freely given without reservation.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') holding back or keeping something ('reserved') — that's why unreserved means freely given.
