Root Explanation

**Editorial** → It is formed from "edit" (from Latin *editus*, meaning to bring forth or publish) and the suffix "-orial" (meaning relating to). The word "editorial" refers to something that relates to the act of bringing forth or publishing opinions or commentary.

Memory Tip

Think of the act of 'bringing forth' ideas ('edit') and how the '-orial' part means relating to. This helps you remember that 'editorial' is about content that relates to expressing opinions.
