Root Explanation
Beachfront → It is formed from "beach" (from Old English *bæce*, meaning a pebbly shore or bank) and "front" (from Latin *frons*, meaning the forehead or front part). The word "beachfront" refers to the area directly in front of a beach.
Memory Tip
Think of the 'shore' ('beach') that is right in front ('front') of you — that's what beachfront means.
