Have you ever heard of dialyzate?

I think I read about it somewhere, but I’m not sure what it is.

Synonyms & Antonyms

Root Explanation

Dialyzate → It is formed from "dialysis" (from Greek "dialusis", meaning separation) and the suffix "-ate" (indicating a product or result). The word "dialyzate" refers to the product resulting from the process of separation, particularly in the context of substances that have been separated through dialysis.

Memory Tip

Think of 'separation' ('dialysis') leading to a 'product' ('-ate') — that's how dialyzate refers to the result of a separation process.
