Root Explanation

Document → It is formed from "docere" (meaning to teach) and the suffix "-ment" (indicating the result of an action). The word "document" refers to something that teaches or provides information, often in written form.

Memory Tip

Think of a document as something that 'teaches' ('docere') you about a subject, and the '-ment' shows it's the result of that teaching.
