Root Explanation
Coordinated → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "ordinare" (meaning to arrange or set in order). The word "coordinated" means arranged together in a systematic way or organized in harmony.
Memory Tip
Think of things being arranged 'together' ('co-') in a specific order ('ordinare') — that's what coordinated means.
