Root Explanation

Logorrhea → It is formed from "logo-" (from Greek "logos", meaning word or speech) and "-rrhea" (from Greek "rheos", meaning flow). The word describes a flow of words, often excessively or uncontrollably.

Memory Tip

Think of 'words' ('logo-') flowing out ('-rrhea') — that's why logorrhea means an excessive flow of speech.
