Root Explanation

Enlace is derived from the Old French word 'enlacer', which means to entwine or embrace. The prefix 'en-' (meaning to cause to be) combined with 'lacer' (meaning to lace or bind) creates the meaning of binding or entwining together.

Memory Tip

Think of 'binding' ('lacer') something together and 'causing' it to be entwined ('en-'). This helps you remember that 'enlace' means to entwine or embrace.
