Root Explanation

Unsounded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "sounded" (from Old English "sundian", meaning to sound or to make a noise). The word "unsounded" means not sounded or not having been made audible.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') making something 'silent' or 'inaudible' ('sounded'). This helps you remember that 'unsounded' refers to something that has not been made audible.
