Root Explanation

Consistence → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "sistere" (meaning to stand). The word "consistence" refers to the quality of standing together or being stable in form or character.

Memory Tip

Think of things that 'stand together' ('con-') to maintain a stable form or quality — that's what consistence means.
