Root Explanation

Interactively → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "act" (from Latin "agere", meaning to do or perform) and the suffix "-ively" (meaning in a manner). The word "interactively" describes a manner of doing something that involves communication or action between parties.

Memory Tip

Think of actions happening 'between' ('inter-') people who are 'doing' something together ('act'). This helps you remember that 'interactively' means engaging in a two-way interaction.
