Root Explanation

Epidotic → It is formed from "epi-" (meaning upon or over) and "dotic" (from Greek "dotos", meaning given). The word refers to something that is given or applied upon or over something else, often in a medical or therapeutic context.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'applied over' ('epi-') to provide a benefit or treatment, which helps you remember that 'epidotic' relates to a therapeutic application.
