Root Explanation

Jawline → The word is formed from "jaw" (from Old English *ceaf*, meaning the lower part of the face) and "line" (from Latin *linea*, meaning a line or string). The term "jawline" refers to the line formed by the lower jaw of a person.

Memory Tip

Think of the 'jaw' as the lower part of the face and 'line' as a straight mark — together, they describe the outline of the jaw.
