Root Explanation

Additionally → It is formed from "add" (from Latin "addere", meaning to put to) and "-tion" (a suffix forming nouns indicating action or condition) combined with the adverbial suffix "-ally" (meaning in a manner). The word "additionally" means in a manner that adds something extra or supplementary.

Memory Tip

Think of 'adding' something extra — 'add' means to put to, and '-ally' indicates the manner in which it is done. So, 'additionally' means to do something in a way that adds more.
