Root Explanation

Dayroom → It is formed from "day" (from Old English "dæg", meaning the period of light between sunrise and sunset) and "room" (from Old English "rum", meaning a space or area). A dayroom is a space designated for use during the day, typically for relaxation or social activities.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'day' as the time when light is present, and a 'room' as a space to be in. A dayroom is simply a space to enjoy during the daylight hours.
