Root Explanation

Manifest → It is formed from "manus" (meaning hand) and "festus" (meaning struck or made firm). The word "manifest" originally referred to something that is made clear or evident, as if it were laid out by hand.

Memory Tip

Think of something being 'laid out by hand' — 'manus' means hand, and 'festus' suggests making it firm or clear. This helps you remember that 'manifest' means to make something clear or evident.
