Root Explanation

Unswerving → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "swerving" (from Old English "swerfan", meaning to turn or deviate). The word "unswerving" means not turning away or deviating from a path or principle.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') turning or 'deviating' ('swerving') — that's why unswerving means staying true to a path or principle.
