Root Explanation

Auricula is formed from "auris" (meaning ear) and the diminutive suffix "-cula" (meaning little). The word refers to a small ear or ear-like structure.

Memory Tip

Think of 'auris' meaning ear, and the diminutive '-cula' suggesting something small — so auricula refers to a little ear.
