Root Explanation

Front → The word 'front' originates from Old French 'front', which comes from Latin 'frons' (meaning forehead or front). It refers to the forward-facing part of something, or the foremost position.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'forehead' ('frons') being the front part of your head — that's why 'front' means the foremost part.
