Root Explanation

Antileak → It is formed from "anti-" (meaning against) and "leak" (from Old English "lecan", meaning to flow or escape). The word "antileak" refers to something that prevents or is against leaking.

Memory Tip

Think of 'against' ('anti-') something that 'flows' or 'escapes' ('leak') — that's why antileak means preventing leaks.
