Root Explanation

Unshaken → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "shaken" (from Old English "sceacan", meaning to move or tremble). The word "unshaken" means not moved or not trembling, indicating steadiness or firmness.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'shaken' — this helps you remember that unshaken means something that remains steady and firm.
