Root Explanation
Compositing → It is formed from "com-" (meaning together) and "ponere" (meaning to place). The word refers to the act of placing elements together to create a unified whole, often used in contexts like art and digital media.
Memory Tip
Think of putting different elements 'together' ('com-') to 'place' them ('ponere') into a single composition.
