Root Explanation

Concealer → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "celare" (meaning to hide). The word "concealer" refers to a product that hides imperfections on the skin, bringing things together to create a more uniform appearance.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'hides' ('celare') imperfections 'together' ('con-') — that's why a concealer is used to cover up flaws.
