Root Explanation

Amaranthine is formed from "amarantus" (from Greek "amarantos", meaning unfading or immortal) and the suffix "-ine" (meaning of or relating to). The word describes something that is everlasting or unfading, much like the mythical amaranth flower that never wilts.

Memory Tip

Think of the Greek word for unfading ('amarantos') to remember that 'amaranthine' means something that is everlasting or never fades.
