Root Explanation

Councilmanic → It is formed from "council" (from Old French *conseil*, meaning a group of advisors or assembly) and "-manic" (derived from "man", meaning relating to a person). The word "councilmanic" refers to something pertaining to a council member or the activities of a council.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'council' as a group of advisors and '-manic' relating to a person, so 'councilmanic' means relating to a person who is part of that advisory group.
