Root Explanation

The word 'landslide' is formed from 'land' (from Old English 'land', meaning ground or soil) and 'slide' (from Old English 'slidan', meaning to glide or move smoothly). A landslide refers to the movement of earth or rock down a slope, typically due to gravity.

Memory Tip

Think of 'land' as the ground and 'slide' as something moving smoothly down. This helps you remember that a landslide is when the ground moves down a slope.
