Root Explanation

Untitled → It is formed from the prefix "un-" (meaning not) and the root "title" (from Old French *titule*, meaning a name or designation). The word "untitled" means not having a title or name.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having a 'name' ('title') — that's why untitled means something that does not have a name.
