Root Explanation

Compensational → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "pensare" (meaning to weigh or pay). The word "compensational" refers to something that involves paying or balancing together, often in the context of making up for a loss or deficiency.

Memory Tip

Think of 'paying' ('pensare') to 'balance' something 'together' ('com-') — that's why compensational relates to making up for something.
