Root Explanation

Untraveled → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "traveled" (from the verb "travel", which comes from Old French *travailler*, meaning to work or labor). The word "untraveled" means not having traveled or not experienced travel.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having 'worked' or 'labored' in travel — that's why untraveled means not having traveled.
