Root Explanation

Homeroom → The word is formed from "home" (from Old English *ham*, meaning dwelling or residence) and "room" (from Old French *rom*, meaning a space or area). Together, they refer to a designated space in a school where students gather, akin to a home base for their daily activities.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'home' as a place where you feel comfortable and a 'room' as a specific area. This helps you remember that a homeroom is a comfortable space in school where students gather.
