Root Explanation

Unrushed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "rushed" (from Old French *rusher*, meaning to hurry or move quickly). The word "unrushed" means not hurried or moving at a leisurely pace.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'hurry' ('rushed') — this helps you remember that 'unrushed' means to take your time and not be in a hurry.
