Did you hear about that mountain that remains unscaled?

Yeah, it's crazy! I can't believe no one has climbed it yet.

I wonder what makes it so challenging and unscaled.

Probably the weather conditions; it's really unpredictable up there.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unscaled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "scaled" (from Old Norse "skala", meaning to measure or to climb). The word "unscaled" means not measured or not climbed, often referring to something that has not been ascended or evaluated.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'climbed' or 'measured' ('scaled') — that's why unscaled means something that hasn't been climbed or measured.
