Root Explanation

Greenroom → The word is formed from "green" (from Old English *grene*, meaning the color of growing plants) and "room" (from Old English *rum*, meaning space or area). A greenroom is a space where performers can relax, often decorated in a way that evokes the freshness of nature.

Memory Tip

Think of the color 'green' representing nature and growth, combined with 'room' meaning a space — a greenroom is a space that feels fresh and natural for performers to relax.
