Root Explanation

Condition → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "dicio" (from Latin "dicere", meaning to say or declare). The word refers to the state or situation that is declared or agreed upon, often involving stipulations or requirements.

Memory Tip

Think of 'together' ('con-') and 'to declare' ('dicio') — this helps you remember that a condition is a situation that is agreed upon or declared.
