Root Explanation

Couponing → The word 'coupon' comes from the French 'coupon', meaning a small piece or a cut-off piece, derived from 'couper' (meaning to cut). The suffix '-ing' indicates the action or process of using coupons. Therefore, 'couponing' refers to the process of using or collecting coupons.

Memory Tip

Think of 'coupon' as a small piece that you 'cut' from a larger item, and '-ing' shows that you are actively using or collecting these pieces.
