Root Explanation

Developable → It is formed from "de-" (meaning down or away) and "volvere" (meaning to roll or turn). The word "developable" refers to something that can be rolled out or turned into a more advanced state.

Memory Tip

Think of something that can be 'rolled out' or 'turned into' a more advanced form — 'de-' suggests a change, and 'volvere' means to roll.
