Root Explanation

Concentrative → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "centrum" (from Latin, meaning center) and the suffix "-ive" (meaning having the nature of). The word "concentrative" describes the quality of bringing things together to a central point or focus.

Memory Tip

Think of bringing things 'together' ('con-') to a 'center' ('centrum') — that's why 'concentrative' means having the nature of focusing on a central point.
