Root Explanation

Condensational → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "densus" (from Latin, meaning thick or dense) and the suffix "-ational" (indicating a process or action). The word "condensational" refers to the process of making something denser or thicker, often in the context of physical states, such as gas to liquid.

Memory Tip

Think of things coming 'together' ('con-') to become 'thicker' ('densus') — that's why condensational refers to the process of making something denser.
