Root Explanation
Databased is formed from "data" (from Latin "datum", meaning something given) and "-based" (meaning having a foundation or support). The word refers to something that is built upon or supported by data.
Memory Tip
Think of 'data' as the foundation ('datum' means something given) and '-based' as having a support. This helps you remember that 'databased' means something built upon data.
