Root Explanation
Correspondent → It is formed from "cor-" (meaning together) and "respondere" (meaning to answer). The word describes someone who answers or communicates together with others, often in a formal context.
Memory Tip
Think of someone who 'answers' ('respondere') together with others ('cor-') — that's why a correspondent is someone who communicates or responds.
