Root Explanation

Antiherpes → It is formed from "anti-" (meaning against) and "herpes" (from Greek "herpes", meaning to creep or crawl, referring to the herpes virus). The word "antiherpes" means against the herpes virus, indicating a treatment or prevention method.

Memory Tip

Think of 'anti-' meaning against, and 'herpes' referring to the creeping virus — that's why antiherpes means something that works against the herpes virus.
