Root Explanation

Autotype → It is formed from "auto-" (from Greek "autos", meaning self) and "type" (from Greek "typos", meaning impression or model). The word "autotype" refers to a self-typing mechanism or process, where something types itself automatically.

Memory Tip

Think of 'self' ('auto-') creating an 'impression' or 'model' ('type') — that's why autotype means a self-typing process.
