Have you ever thought about exploring that untraversed part of the forest?

I’ve heard it’s really beautiful and untouched by people.

Yeah, it would be amazing to see what’s there since it's so untraversed.

Root Explanation
Untraversed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "traversed" (from Latin "traversare", meaning to cross over). The word "untraversed" means not crossed over or not traveled through.
Memory Tip
Think of 'not' ('un-') having crossed over ('traversed') — that's why untraversed means a place that hasn't been traveled through.
