Root Explanation

**Unslaked** → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "slake" (from Old English *slacan*, meaning to lessen or to satisfy). The word "unslaked" means not satisfied or not lessened, often referring to thirst or desire that remains unquenched.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being combined with 'satisfying' or 'lessening' ('slake') — that's why unslaked means something that is not satisfied.
