Root Explanation
Copurified → It is formed from "co-" (meaning together) and "purified" (from Latin "purificare", meaning to make pure). The word "copurified" means made pure together or simultaneously with another substance.
Memory Tip
Think of 'together' ('co-') and 'made pure' ('purified') — that's why copurified means made pure together.
