Enroot → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "root" (from Old English "rōt", meaning the part of a plant that attaches it to the ground). The word "enroot" means to cause something to take root or become established.
Think of 'en-' meaning to cause something to be in a place, and 'root' as the part of a plant that anchors it. This helps you remember that 'enroot' means to establish something firmly.
