Root Explanation

Unstitched → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "stitched" (from Old English "stician", meaning to pierce or sew). The word "unstitched" means not sewn or having been taken apart from stitches.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'not sewn' ('un-') — that's what unstitched means.
