Have you seen that new movie about the hero who stays unscarred through all the battles?

Root Explanation

Unscarred → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "scar" (from Old English "scear", meaning a mark or wound). The word "unscarred" means not marked or wounded, indicating a surface that is free from scars.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'marks' ('scar') on it — that's why unscarred means free from scars.
