Root Explanation

Flyover → It is formed from "fly" (from Old English "flēogan", meaning to move through the air) and "over" (meaning above or higher than). The word "flyover" refers to a structure or area that is situated above another, typically used in the context of air travel or highways.

Memory Tip

Imagine something that 'moves through the air' ('fly') and is 'above' ('over') — that's why a flyover is a structure that is above another.
