Did you check the appendix in that textbook we were using?

Not yet, but I heard it has some great extra resources.

Root Explanation

Appendix → It is formed from "ad-" (meaning to) and "pendere" (meaning to hang). The word "appendix" refers to something that is added on or hangs onto something else, typically an additional section at the end of a book or document.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'added on' ('ad-') and 'hangs' ('pendere') — that's why an appendix is an additional section that hangs at the end.
