Root Explanation

Unrivaled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "rival" (from Latin "rivalis", meaning one who competes). The word "unrivaled" means not having any competitors or equals.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'competitors' ('rival') — that's why something that is unrivaled stands alone without competition.
