Root Explanation

Denominate → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "nominare" (meaning to name). The word "denominate" means to name or designate something, often in a specific or formal way.

Memory Tip

Think of 'naming' something ('nominare') in a specific way, as if you are 'taking it down' ('de-') to give it a proper title.
