Root Explanation

Inundant → It is formed from "in-" (meaning into) and "undare" (meaning to flow). The word describes the action of flowing into an area, often used in the context of flooding or overwhelming with water.

Memory Tip

Think of water 'flowing into' ('in-') a place ('undare') — that's why inundate means to flood or overwhelm.
