Root Explanation

Circuitry → It is formed from "circuit" (from Latin "circuitus", meaning a going around) and the suffix "-ry" (meaning a collection or state of). The word "circuitry" refers to the collection or system of circuits, particularly in electronics.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'going around' ('circuit') and a collection of those paths ('-ry') — that's what circuitry means, a system of pathways for electrical flow.
