Root Explanation

Unseasonable → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "season" (from Old French *saison*, meaning a time or period). The word "unseasonable" means not appropriate for the time or season.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with a 'time' or 'period' ('season') — that's why unseasonable refers to something that is not suitable for the current time.
