Root Explanation

Exsert → It is formed from "ex-" (meaning out of or from) and "serere" (meaning to join or to bind). The word describes the action of projecting or thrusting something out.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'thrust out' ('ex-') from a joined position ('serere'). This helps you remember that 'exsert' means to project or push out.
