Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

The word 'untinged' is formed from the prefix 'un-' (meaning not) and the root 'tinge' (from Old French 'tinger', meaning to color or dye). Therefore, 'untinged' means not colored or dyed.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') coloring something ('tinge') — that's why untinged means something that has no color.
