Root Explanation

Axonometric is formed from "axon" (from Greek "axōn", meaning axis) and "metric" (from Greek "metron", meaning measure). The term refers to a method of representing three-dimensional objects in two dimensions, where the axes are measured at specific angles.

Memory Tip

Think of 'axis' ('axon') and 'measure' ('metric') to remember that axonometric refers to measuring dimensions along axes.
