Root Explanation

Communion → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "unio" (from Latin, meaning union or oneness). The word "communion" refers to the act of coming together in unity, often in a spiritual or religious context.

Memory Tip

Think of people coming 'together' ('com-') to form a 'union' ('unio') — that's why communion means a coming together in unity.
