About This Root

From Latin ūnus (one). One of the most foundational number roots: unit (a single thing), unite (make one), uniform (one form), unique (one of a kind), universal (turned into one whole), union (a joining into one), and unanimous (of one mind). Not to be confused with the Germanic prefix un- (meaning "not"), which is entirely separate.
