Root Explanation

Antiulcer → It is formed from "anti-" (meaning against) and "ulcer" (from Latin "ulcus", meaning sore or wound). The word "antiulcer" refers to something that works against or prevents ulcers.

Memory Tip

Think of 'against' ('anti-') something that causes pain or sore ('ulcer') — that's why antiulcer means something that prevents or treats ulcers.
