Root Explanation

**Headline** → It is formed from "head" (from Old English *heafod*, meaning the top or leader) and "line" (from Latin *linea*, meaning a line or string). The word "headline" refers to the leading line of text that summarizes the main point of an article or news story, typically found at the top.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'head' as the top part and 'line' as a line of text — a headline is the top line that gives you the main idea.
