Root Explanation

Concreteness → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "creare" (meaning to create or make), combined with the suffix "-ness" (indicating a state or quality). The word "concreteness" refers to the quality of being real or tangible, as if created or made together in a solid form.

Memory Tip

Think of things that are 'made together' ('con-') to form something solid or real, which helps you remember that 'concreteness' means the quality of being tangible or real.
