Root Explanation

Infinitude is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "finitus" (from Latin, meaning limited or finite) and the suffix "-ude" (indicating a state or condition). The word describes a state of being not limited, or boundless, hence referring to infinity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not limited' ('in-') and 'finite' ('finitus') to remember that 'infinitude' means a state of being boundless or infinite.
