Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Unwedded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "wedded" (from Old English "weddian", meaning to wed or marry). The word "unwedded" means not married or not having entered into wedlock.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') being added to 'married' ('wedded') — that's why unwedded means not married.
