Root Explanation

**Ensuite** → The word comes from the Old French *ensuite*, meaning 'following' or 'after'. It is derived from the combination of 'en-' (meaning in or on) and 'suite' (meaning a following or sequence). Thus, 'ensuite' refers to something that comes after or follows something else.

Memory Tip

Think of 'following' something — 'en-' means in or on, and 'suite' means a sequence. This helps you remember that 'ensuite' means something that comes after.
