Root Explanation

Homeopathic → It is formed from "homeo-" (from Greek "homoios", meaning similar) and "pathic" (from Greek "pathos", meaning suffering or disease). The word "homeopathic" refers to a system of medicine that treats diseases by administering small doses of substances that produce similar symptoms in healthy individuals.

Memory Tip

Think of 'similar' ('homeo-') treatments for 'suffering' ('pathos') — that's what homeopathic means.
