Root Explanation

Arborescence → It is formed from "arbor" (from Latin, meaning tree) and the suffix "-escence" (meaning the process of becoming or developing). The word describes the process of becoming tree-like or branching out, similar to the structure of a tree.

Memory Tip

Imagine a tree growing and branching out — 'arbor' means tree, and '-escence' refers to the process of becoming. This helps you remember that 'arborescence' describes something that develops in a tree-like manner.
