Root Explanation

Improvisatorial is formed from "improvisare" (meaning to provide or compose on the spot) and the suffix "-orial" (meaning relating to or characterized by). The word refers to something that is related to or characterized by improvisation, particularly in performance or creative contexts.

Memory Tip

Think of 'providing' something 'on the spot' — that's what improvisation is about, and the '-orial' part indicates it relates to that spontaneous act.
