Root Explanation

Unsated → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "sated" (from Latin "satis", meaning enough or sufficient). The word "unsated" means not satisfied or not having had enough.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'enough' ('satis') — that's why unsated means not having enough or not being satisfied.
