Root Explanation

Conscientiously → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "scientia" (meaning knowledge) and the suffix "-ously" (meaning in a manner). The word describes acting in a manner that is guided by knowledge and awareness, often implying a sense of responsibility and diligence.

Memory Tip

Think of acting with 'knowledge' ('scientia') and doing so 'together' ('con-') — this helps you remember that 'conscientiously' means to act with awareness and responsibility.
