Conversation

I often feel like there are thoughts that remain unverbalized in my mind.

I get that; sometimes it’s hard to express how we really feel.

Exactly! I wish I could find the right words for those unverbalized feelings.

Maybe just writing them down could help clarify your thoughts.

Root Explanation

Unverbalized → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "verbal" (from Latin "verbalem", meaning relating to words) and the suffix "-ized" (meaning to make or to become). The word "unverbalized" means not expressed in words or not made verbal.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') expressing something 'in words' ('verbal') — that's why unverbalized means something that hasn't been put into words.
