Root Explanation

Untiring → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "tiring" (from the verb "tire", which comes from Old French *tirer*, meaning to pull or draw). The word "untiring" means not becoming fatigued or not losing energy.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') becoming 'fatigued' ('tiring') — that's why untiring means someone who doesn't get tired.
