Root Explanation

Expansive → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out) and "pandere" (meaning to spread). The word "expansive" describes something that spreads out or extends outward.

Memory Tip

Think of something that spreads "outward" ('ex-') and "spreads" ('pandere') — that's why expansive means something that extends widely.
