Conversation

I noticed that the new park design is quite aclinic with no slopes at all.

Yeah, it's nice to have a flat area for walking and biking.

I prefer aclinic spaces; they feel more accessible for everyone.

Absolutely! It makes it easier for families with strollers too.

Root Explanation

Aclinic → It is formed from "a-" (meaning without) and "clinic" (from Greek "klinein", meaning to lean or recline). The term "aclinic" refers to a condition or situation that is without a slope or incline, often used in a medical context to describe a horizontal position.

Memory Tip

Think of 'without' ('a-') and 'leaning' ('klinein') to remember that 'aclinic' describes something that is flat or horizontal, lacking any incline.
