Root Explanation

Cyberspace is formed from "cyber-" (derived from the Greek word "kybernetes", meaning steersman or governor) and "space" (from Old French "espace", meaning extent or area). The term refers to the virtual environment of computer networks, where information is shared and communication occurs.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'steersman' ('cyber-') guiding through a vast 'area' ('space') of digital information — that's what cyberspace represents.
