Root Explanation

Infinite → It is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "finitus" (from Latin, meaning limited or finite). The word "infinite" means not limited or boundless, referring to something that has no end.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not' ('in-') having 'limits' ('finitus') — that's why infinite means without limits.
