Root Explanation

Concatenate is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "catena" (meaning chain). The word describes the action of linking things together in a chain-like manner.

Memory Tip

Think of linking things 'together' ('con-') like a 'chain' ('catena') — that's why concatenate means to link together.
