Root Explanation

Makeover → It is formed from "make" (from Old English *macian*, meaning to create or cause to be) and "over" (meaning above or again). The word "makeover" refers to the act of creating a new appearance or identity, often by changing or improving something.

Memory Tip

Think of 'making' something new or different ('make') and doing it 'again' or 'above' ('over') — that's why a makeover means a new look or transformation.
