Root Explanation

Unrimed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "rim" (from Old English "rym", meaning a border or edge) and "-ed" (a suffix used to form the past participle). The word "unrimed" means not having a border or edge, or lacking a rim.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'border' ('rim') — that's why unrimed means without a border.
