Root Explanation

Innersole → The word is formed from "inner" (from Old English "innera", meaning situated within) and "sole" (from Latin "sola", meaning the bottom part of a shoe). The term "innersole" refers to the part of a shoe that is situated within, providing comfort and support.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'situated within' ('inner') the 'bottom part of a shoe' ('sole') — that's what an innersole is.
