Did you see that the contract was unsigned?

Yeah, I noticed that, which is a bit concerning.

I hope it doesn't cause any delays in the project.

Root Explanation

Unsigned → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "signed" (from Latin "signare", meaning to mark or sign). The word "unsigned" means not marked or not having a signature.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'mark' or 'signature' ('signare') — that's why unsigned means something that does not have a signature.
