Unaffected Meaning in English
word
Definition
If someone or something is unaffected by something, they do not change or show any reaction because of it. The word can also mean being natural and not artificial in attitude or appearance.
Usage & Nuances
Often used to describe people who remain calm or things that are not changed by events. In a social sense, 'unaffected' (personality) means genuine, not pretentious. Common mistakes: don't confuse with 'unaffecting' (doesn't move emotionally), and don't use for being immune ('immune' is for biological resistance).
