Root Explanation

Alameda originates from the Spanish word 'alameda', which is derived from 'álamo' (meaning poplar tree) and the suffix '-eda' (indicating a place characterized by). Thus, 'alameda' refers to a place characterized by poplar trees, often used to describe a tree-lined avenue or walkway.

Memory Tip

Imagine a place filled with tall, graceful poplar trees ('álamo') — that's what an 'alameda' is, a beautiful area characterized by these trees.
