Root Explanation

Unreservedness → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "reserved" (from Latin "reservare", meaning to keep back or hold). The suffix "-ness" (meaning the state or quality of) indicates a state of being. Therefore, "unreservedness" refers to the quality of not holding back or being open and candid.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not holding back' ('un-') and being 'open' ('reserved') — that's what unreservedness means.
