Root Explanation

Enwomb → It is formed from "en-" (meaning to cause to be in) and "womb" (from Old English "womb", meaning the uterus or a place of development). The word "enwomb" means to cause to be in the womb or to conceive.

Memory Tip

Think of 'en-' meaning to cause to be in, and 'womb' referring to the place of development — this helps you remember that 'enwomb' means to cause something to be in the womb.
