Root Explanation

Insomuch is formed from "in-" (meaning not) and "so much" (meaning to such an extent). The word refers to a degree or extent that is not limited, often used to indicate a strong connection or consequence.

Memory Tip

Think of 'not limited' ('in-') to 'such an extent' — this helps you remember that insomuch refers to a degree that is significant or considerable.
