Root Explanation

Moreover → It is formed from "more" (from Old English "māra", meaning greater in quantity or degree) and "-over" (from Old English "ūfer", meaning above or in addition). The word "moreover" means in addition to what has already been stated, emphasizing an additional point.

Memory Tip

Think of 'more' indicating a greater amount and 'over' suggesting something added on top — that's why moreover means to add more information.
