Root Explanation

Interactivity → It is formed from "inter-" (meaning between) and "act" (from Latin "agere", meaning to do or perform) and the suffix "-ivity" (meaning the state or quality of). The word describes the quality of being able to act or perform between entities, often in a responsive manner.

Memory Tip

Think of 'acting' ('act') in a way that involves 'between' ('inter-') people or systems, which helps you remember that interactivity means the quality of engaging or responding between them.
