Root Explanation

Unshifted → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "shift" (from Old English "scyftan", meaning to move or change). The word "unshifted" means not moved or changed from its original position.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') moving or changing ('shift') — that's why unshifted means something that has not been moved.
