Root Explanation

Episode → It is formed from "episodion" (from Greek, meaning a little piece or addition) and the suffix "-ode" (meaning a way or manner). The word "episode" refers to a distinct part or segment of a larger narrative or series, often adding to the overall story.

Memory Tip

Think of an 'addition' ('episodion') that is a 'part' of a larger story — that's what an episode is.
