Root Explanation

Enophile → It is formed from "eno" (from Greek "oinos", meaning wine) and "-phile" (from Greek "philos", meaning loving or fond of). The word describes someone who loves or has a strong affinity for wine.

Memory Tip

Think of someone who is 'fond of' ('-phile') 'wine' ('oinos') — that's why an enophile is a person who loves wine.
