Root Explanation
Bulletin → It is formed from 'bulle' (from Old French, meaning a seal or a document) and the suffix '-in' (indicating a diminutive or a smaller version). The word 'bulletin' refers to a small document or announcement, often sealed or official in nature.
Memory Tip
Think of a 'seal' ('bulle') on a small 'document' ('-in') that conveys important information — that's what a bulletin is.
