Root Explanation

Castled → The word is derived from "castle" (from Old French *castel*, meaning a fortified building or residence) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a state or condition). The term "castled" refers to the state of being in a position similar to that of a castle, often used in chess to describe a specific move involving the king and rook.

Memory Tip

Imagine a king in a fortified building ('castle') and think of the '-ed' as indicating a state of being. This helps you remember that 'castled' means being in a position like a castle.
