Root Explanation

Fused → It is formed from "fus-" (from Latin "fundere", meaning to pour) and the suffix "-ed" (indicating a past action). The word "fused" means having been poured together or melted into a single entity.

Memory Tip

Think of the idea of 'pouring' ('fus-') materials together to create something new — that's why 'fused' means they have been combined.
