Root Explanation

Dewfall is formed from "dew" (from Old English *deaw*, meaning moisture or condensation) and "fall" (from Old English *feallan*, meaning to fall or drop). The word "dewfall" refers to the process of dew forming and falling, typically in the early morning or evening.

Memory Tip

Think of 'dew' as the moisture that forms and 'fall' as the action of it dropping down. This helps you remember that 'dewfall' is about the moisture that falls, especially in the early hours.
