Root Explanation

Analgesia is formed from "an-" (meaning without) and "algos" (meaning pain in Greek). The word describes a state of being without pain, often used in medical contexts to refer to pain relief.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'without' ('an-') 'pain' ('algos') — that's what analgesia means.
