Root Explanation

Flysheet → The word is formed from "fly" (from Old English *flēogan*, meaning to move through the air) and "sheet" (from Old English *sceat*, meaning a piece of material or covering). A flysheet refers to a covering that is used to protect or cover something, often in the context of tents or shelters.

Memory Tip

Think of something that 'moves through the air' ('fly') and a 'piece of material' ('sheet') that covers or protects. This helps you remember that a flysheet is a protective covering.
