Root Explanation

Entopic is formed from "en-" (meaning in or within) and "topos" (meaning place). The word describes something that is situated within a specific place or context.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'in' ('en-') a certain 'place' ('topos') — that's why entopic refers to something that is located within a specific area.
