Root Explanation

Broadcasting → It is formed from "broad" (from Old English "brād", meaning wide) and "casting" (from Old Norse "kasta", meaning to throw). The word "broadcasting" means throwing out information widely or over a large area.

Memory Tip

Think of 'wide' ('broad') and 'throwing' ('casting') information out to many people — that's what broadcasting means.
