Root Explanation

Unstopped → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "stopped" (from the verb "stop", which comes from Old English "stoppian", meaning to close or block). The word "unstopped" means not closed or blocked, indicating something that is open or flowing freely.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'stopped', which means something is open and flowing freely.
