Root Explanation

Intactness is formed from "intact" (from Latin "intactus", meaning untouched) and the suffix "-ness" (meaning the state or quality of). The word "intactness" refers to the state of being untouched or unbroken.

Memory Tip

Think of something that is 'untouched' ('intact') and the '-ness' indicating a state. This helps you remember that 'intactness' means the quality of being untouched.
