That sounds like a great idea! Visuals can really enhance it.

Root Explanation

Embedding → It is formed from "em-" (meaning in or within) and "beddan" (from Old English, meaning to place or to put). The word "embedding" means placing something firmly within something else.

Memory Tip

Think of placing something 'within' ('em-') another thing — that's why embedding means to put something firmly inside.
