Root Explanation

Branding → The word 'branding' comes from the Old Norse word 'brandr', meaning to burn, which refers to the practice of burning a mark onto livestock to identify ownership. The suffix '-ing' indicates the action or process of doing something. Thus, 'branding' refers to the process of marking or identifying a product or company.

Memory Tip

Think of the act of 'burning' a mark to identify ownership — that's how 'branding' relates to marking a product or company.
