Did you see the list of new enrollees for the course this semester?

Yeah, I noticed a lot of familiar names on there!

I wonder how many new enrollees will join us this year.

Root Explanation

Enrollee → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "roll" (from Old French *roler*, meaning to roll or list). The word "enrollee" refers to a person who is caused to be on a list or roll, typically in the context of registration or membership.

Memory Tip

Think of someone being 'added to a list' — 'en-' means to cause to be in, and 'roll' refers to a list. This helps you remember that an enrollee is someone who is on a list.
