Root Explanation

Consummation → It is formed from "con-" (meaning together) and "summare" (from Latin, meaning to sum up or complete). The word "consummation" refers to the act of bringing something to completion or fulfillment, often in a final or perfect state.

Memory Tip

Think of bringing things 'together' ('con-') to 'complete' them ('summare') — that's why consummation means the act of completing something.
