Root Explanation

Lemonade → The word is formed from "lemon" (from Old French *limon*, meaning the citrus fruit) and "-ade" (a suffix used to denote a drink or a process). Thus, lemonade refers to a drink made from lemons.

Memory Tip

Think of the citrus fruit 'lemon' combined with the suffix that indicates a drink, so lemonade is simply a drink made from lemons.
