Root Explanation
Adrenalized → It is formed from "adrenal" (from Latin "ad" meaning to and "renes" meaning kidneys, referring to the adrenal glands located above the kidneys) and the suffix "-ized" (meaning to make or to become). The word "adrenalized" means to be made excited or energized by the adrenal glands, often in response to stress or excitement.
Memory Tip
Think of the adrenal glands 'making' you feel excited or energized — 'adrenal' refers to the glands, and '-ized' means to become.
