Root Explanation
Integrating → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "tangere" (meaning to touch). The word describes the act of bringing parts together into a whole, as if touching them into unity.
Memory Tip
Think of bringing things 'into' ('in-') a state of 'touch' or connection ('tangere') — that's what integrating means.
