The picture frame was untilted, perfectly aligned with the wall.

Conversation

Did you notice how that picture on the wall is still untilted?

Yeah, it looks odd just hanging there like that.

We should probably fix it, so it doesn't look so untilted anymore.

Good idea! I'll grab a ladder and we can sort it out.

Root Explanation

This word originates from the combination of 'un-' (meaning not) and 'tilt' (from Old English 'tyltan', meaning to incline or lean). The word 'untilted' means not inclined or not leaning.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') leaning or 'inclining' ('tilt') — that's why untilted means not inclined.
