Root Explanation

Enrichment → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be) and "rich" (from Old French *riche*, meaning wealthy or abundant) and "-ment" (a suffix used to form nouns indicating an action or resulting state). The word "enrichment" means the process of making something richer or more abundant.

Memory Tip

Think of 'causing to be' ('en-') 'wealthy' ('rich') — that's why enrichment means making something richer.
