Root Explanation
Coding is derived from "code" (from Latin *codex*, meaning a book or manuscript) and the suffix "-ing" (indicating the action or process of). The term "coding" refers to the process of writing or creating code, particularly in programming or computer science.
Memory Tip
Think of 'code' as a set of instructions or rules, and '-ing' indicates the action of doing something. So, coding is the action of creating instructions.
