Root Explanation
Unripped → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "ripped" (from Old English "rippian", meaning to tear or rip). The word "unripped" means not torn or not ripped apart.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') being applied to something that has been 'torn' ('ripped') — that's why unripped means something that is not torn.
