Root Explanation

Labelmate → The word is formed from 'label' (from Old French *label*, meaning a small piece of paper or tag) and 'mate' (from Old English *gemetta*, meaning companion or associate). A labelmate refers to a companion or item that shares a label or is associated with a particular label.

Memory Tip

Think of a 'label' as a tag that identifies something, and 'mate' as a companion. So, a labelmate is something that is identified together with another item.
