Root Explanation

Eustatic → It is formed from "eu-" (meaning good or well) and "static" (from Greek "statikos", meaning causing to stand or stable). The word "eustatic" refers to a good or stable condition, particularly in the context of sea level changes.

Memory Tip

Think of 'eu-' meaning good and 'static' meaning stable — together they describe a good or stable condition, which is what eustatic refers to.
