Root Explanation

Monodramatic → It is formed from "mono-" (meaning single or one) and "dramatic" (from Greek "dramatikos", meaning related to drama or action). The word "monodramatic" refers to a performance or drama that involves a single actor or character.

Memory Tip

Think of 'mono-' meaning 'one' and 'dramatic' relating to 'drama' — so monodramatic describes a drama performed by one person.
