Root Explanation

This word originates from the combination of 'multi-' (from Latin 'multus', meaning many) and 'plant' (from Old English 'plantian', meaning to plant or set in the ground). The word 'multiplant' refers to the act of planting many plants or varieties.

Memory Tip

Think of 'many' ('multi-') being 'planted' ('plant') in the ground — that's why multiplant means to plant many.
