About this test list: Words beginning with the prefix un-

A prefix is a short group of letters that is added to the beginning of a word in order to change its meaning.

Un- is an Old English prefix that means not.

It is like a secret code that, when added to the start of a word, signifies the opposite or the reversal of a base word's meaning. For example, undo means to reverse an action, unseen means not seen, and unlock means to free something from a locked state.

Once you have identified the base word, you can usually work out what an un- word means even if you’ve never come across it before. You’ll become an expert at un- words in no time with our spelling activities!
