Root Explanation

Manufacture → It is formed from "manu" (from Latin *manus*, meaning hand) and "facere" (meaning to make or do). The word "manufacture" originally referred to making something by hand.

Memory Tip

Think of using your 'hands' ('manu') to 'make' ('facere') something — that's why manufacture means to make something, often by hand.
