Root Explanation

Architectural → It is formed from "archi-" (from Greek "architekton", meaning chief or master builder) and "tectura" (from Latin "tectura", meaning structure or building). The word "architectural" refers to anything related to the art and science of designing buildings and structures.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'master builder' ('archi-') who designs 'structures' ('tectura') — that's why architectural relates to the design of buildings.
