Root Explanation

Druidism is derived from "druides" (from Gaulish, meaning oak) and "-ism" (a suffix used to denote a practice or belief). The term refers to the religious practices and beliefs associated with the Druids, who were ancient Celtic priests and scholars, often linked to the worship of nature and the oak tree.

Memory Tip

Think of the Druids as ancient priests connected to the 'oak' ('druides') and their 'practices' ('-ism') related to nature and spirituality.
