Root Explanation

Bylined → It is formed from "by" (meaning near or next to) and "line" (from Old French *ligne*, meaning a line of text). The term "bylined" refers to a piece of writing that includes the author's name next to the text, indicating authorship.

Memory Tip

Think of the word 'by' meaning next to, and 'line' referring to a line of text — this helps you remember that 'bylined' means the author's name is next to the text.
