Root Explanation

Unspoiled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "spoil" (from Old French *espoillier*, meaning to plunder or ruin). The word "unspoiled" means not ruined or damaged, retaining its original condition.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') ruining or damaging something ('spoil') — that's why unspoiled means something that remains in its original, untouched state.
