Root Explanation

Unversed → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "versed" (from Latin "versare", meaning to turn or to be familiar with). The word "unversed" means not familiar or not skilled in a particular area.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'not' ('un-') familiar with something — that's why unversed means lacking knowledge or skill in that area.
