Root Explanation

Unwounded → It is formed from "un-" (meaning not) and "wound" (from Old English "wund", meaning an injury or hurt). The word "unwounded" means not having any injuries or hurts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('un-') having any 'injuries' ('wound') — that's why unwounded means not injured.
